Have you got the tool to crimp the copper connections to the HT leads on the ends where they go into the plug caps? I've got caps and the connectors but I haven't been able to find the tool for the job. Be interested to know what you did.

I will send you pictures how i did it with the original connectors...

A litte update on my restoration....

Have cleaned all polished all the original parts for the doors, so they will be fitted this weekend..

Also fitted a Stadium overtaker mirror to it today.... that type just looks great on the mini, and with no drilling.. I like it...

[skorstensfejeren]

A little commercial for the mini is alright....

[evonaut]

Great project and love the mirror! Where did you find it? Might have to put out a wanted add!

[skorstensfejeren]

Thanks evonaut...

I found that NOS one in an old garage a few years ago. Just saved it to this rebuild..

They come up on eBay sometimes..

There's a used one on now...

Also had the last few original trims done, and fitted, with a NOS pair of door kick plates...
