Hi Gary,

sounds like you have a "pre April 74" car, if it has a brake servo, does it also have 10" wheels?

I wouldnt touch the pots, unless the box leaks oil, from the pot seals?
if you want the axles out? just cut the alloy clip, that holds the rubber to the pot, and you can pull the axle out, if you need to replace the gearbox seal?
you still need to do it like this, as you cant get the pot through the subframe.
The pots can be a real ba----- to get out, as they are hold in place by a inner clip, that expands outwards, so it locks the pot to the gearbox axle,
there is a special BL tool for this, but you can get around this, you can also buy this tool, from where you get Mini spares.

As for my engine bay dont ask- just look it was sprayed all over, with this thick sound deadning, it took forever to get off,
we used heat, and a scraper to remove it with, here is a picture from when we had done most of the engine bay.

PS for the Eagle eyed, take a look at piston no 1 & 4

Hi Gary, did you go to the London to Brighton run ??
Overhere the weather has been "shite" so my car hasnt moved since I drove at that Confirmation, and a few days ago I noticed that Grundlovsdag (Danish holiday) is next Saturday, and this is the day they always have Ganlose Hillclimb, but I am working that day so now it will be a full year, since I drove my race Mini
I think that will have to go, no point in having a car I dont use.
