Hey all just a couple of questions.

Our 74 Clubman is coming together now.

I need to get the CV joints done and I would like the twin carb setup.

Any ideas on cast and where in Brisbane Australia.

Also how hard is it to convert to a disc brake front end?

 Try Karcraft in Sydney. They have most of the stuff most of the time!

How odd, I was in the middle of typing my reply and it vanished. It
doesn't seem to have posted, so here we go again:

A) Drum and disk CVs are different.
B) Unlike most other cars, you can buy outer CVs seperately, they used
to be about $100 each.
C) In Melbourne, Northern Mini, (03) 9458 2111. In Brisvegas?? DOn't know.
D) Disks are easy to fit. Don't forget A). Don't forget to change the
rear wheel cylinders too unless you want to go through every red light
backwards. The drum brake wheel cylinders are too large and result in
rear wheel lockup.

A toZ Auto over in Brendale is the only way to go. Richard only does minis,
and is the most resonably priced around.

David...email me and I will put you onto a honda disk brake conversion that
is outstanding and a great price.
