Re: castle combe miniworld action day

I think Stoneleigh may be optimistic!!!!
The front subframe is nearly finished, but then I have to rip the engine apart and before it goes back in, I need to repair the bulkhead........then there's the interior, bodywork, glass.......

Re: engine steady bar

Well, I've decided to drop the subframe/engine out from under in one unit..........
I don't know how far I'll get this week as I'm on horrible shifts, 57 hours in 5 days but hoping to be at Stoneleigh on Mon!!!

Re: engine steady bar

Hi All,
Well the Midas peaked out from under it's winter sheet yesterday...... :o
I've decided that to sort the cracked bulkhead out I really need to get the engine out........
I'm undecided, do I lift the engine out or just drop the whole subframe away from the body with the motor still sat in it ...

Re: wiper blades

Hi,

Thanks for the info.......

I've got the original build manual and I've seen nothing about the wiper arms/blades, but perhaps that means I need to look harder???? ;)

Re: wiper blades

Hi all,

My car came without wiper arms and blades....... :(

The wheelboxes are mini from what I can tell, I've bought replacement mini arms that fit well, but I need to sort out a new set of blades............ :?

I hope this isn't going to be a problem.......

Re: wiper blades

Hi All,

Thanks for all your responses.........

I think I'll have a look for some 14" flat blades then...........

Does the standard fitting kit have an option for the Mini arms????

wiper blades

Hi All,

I was going to get some blades for the Midas but I'm not sure if I need standard mini ones or not, 10" blades seem a bit small on the Fiat screen.............

I've got standard mini arms with the normal bayonet/push on fitting............

Any ideas?????
