Good to see someone busy on a Sunday :D. But if those lights are the same as mine ( and they look it) you’ll need to go with the reflector as the lights don’t have one. MOT fail.....don’t ask how I know!!

It was a tight fit but the rear subframe is now in place.

This will be the layout for my rear lights. I’ve bought an led bulb that will light red and white so I can wire reverse and fog into one unit.

But what happens if you have to reverse on a foggy day?

Hi Martin,
Must say that I'm really enjoying watching your build and regular updates.
You are probably already aware of it, but, something to watch out for is the MOKE trailing arm kits are different to the MINI.
The new kits may come with a plastic grease tube that is a bit shorter due to the bush that the MINI uses is 1/4" longer than the needle bearing the Moke uses. This gap allows the grease to fill the cavity in the trailing arm rather than force grease to both needle roller bearings.

Half pint I’m putting the metal tube back in again.

It’s been a very messy afternoon. How do I get rid of all the grease.

A bit of bling for the engine bay.

It’s been a while since I last posted anything. I recently got the radius arms shot blasted and primed.

My parcel shelves were too short to fix to the outer uprights, 5mm on the drivers side, 3mm on the passengers side. Brendan from Tyrrell Coachworks in Wexford made me a replacement pair. I’m very happy with the new shelves.

No holes for the pedal box to attach to the shelf? Will the flanges on the top of the pedalbox meet the underside of the shelf? On mine they don't and I think its because 43 years of pedal pushing has gradually bent it down.
