Auto mini
Hi guys,
Does anyone know what differences there are with an auto mini? Not the gearbox, I'll be binning that, I mean in regards to a RWD BEC
conversion.
Cheers,
Graham

Not started yet.
I'm in a difficult situation though, the Avon is in the garage so I'm going to have to do this one on the drive! 
Therefore I need to find something almost ready to go (apart from bike engine), i.e. minimal welding etc.
Looks like you've got a lot of work ahead of you, whats the shell like?

Not bad, just the prep work for painting is going to be a pain. But all part of the fun.

will do, what are you short of. Going to look around for a couple of doors. Will keep you informed of the build to if you want. Think it will come to
a sudden stop though soon. FUNDS running out quickly.

Probably doesn't matter know, but IIRC the only difference between auto and manual mini is the front subframe.
The auto one has a larger space some where in it to allow for the larger engine/gearbox assembly.

A little hard work never killed anyone, but why take the risk!

Seem to remember the shell was the same but obviosly no clutch pedal and a bigger brake pedal , also the front subframe may be slightly different none
of which should cause major headaches.

Good points! Forgot about that, is it possible to change the pedals/pedal box?
