Sorry Turbo Jo, you are quite right,
I started the diversion, and I apologise to Martin also,

Fitzy

erm, okay, just saying Hello, wasnt as if i was taking over the plane or
anything....!!

Why do you guys always hijack the threads?

Some may wonder why I have been quiet, i dunno why either, my server has
been playing up and have been getting no posts from the group, now all of a
sudden I am again weird...

hello anyway!

Thanks for reminding me Steve,
will pass on the reminder to the rest of our group,
Fitzy

Don't think I will be able to get to Castle Combe, I think I am working
then, don't forget to take a helmet with you Fitzy!

Steve.

PS I aint forgot about them 60s motoring films, just can't locate them at
present!

Nice one Steve,
the inno is looking good,
do you fancy doing Castle Combe at the end of the month
we have spare seats in the bus, or like me, go in the mini,
how about you Taff
Fitzy

I like to remove the wheels every so often & check for rust, if alls ok
remove the dirt, then wash, wax & polish under the wheel arches, grease up
the suspension, adjust the breaks & put the wheels back on, sounds tedious
but only needs to be done twice a year,

Steve.

What the Camlo Undershields?

Well I believe you have to check if their actually suitable for your
Mini model/year because they can foul later components that got fitted
to later models.

I do remember them being tested years ago and it was claimed back in
the mid 1980's that if their not fitted properly (and the example kit
didn't come with enough pins/nails or whatever to mount them
effectively), then they can cause dirt and grime to stay behind the
sheilds and then accelerate problems even more.

I guess waxoyling is generally the best option?

Taffy

Anyone know where I can get some plastic front wing undershields and for how
much? i saw the advert in mini magazine for some at Derek's Mini's but at
£65 they are too much. Any other outlets known and do they fit properly

Cheers
Martin
