Moke Front Subframe and Engine Install EP35
I'm sure on the end where the split pin is on my starter motor it's welded 😑
Jeeze what we’re the numbers and what made the difference?
Great video... cheers
Does anyone know if the seat framed changed between the MKI and the MK2?
Non si è capito un cazzo.
Good video mate 👍
Does any one offer complete full size plans for a Moke.
@@haroldtubbs3433 some people had suggested Roy Scott's book, but I have never read it. minisport.com.au/products/mini-moke-just-restoration-book-roy-scott
I have a 1992 Sambar Dias II (KV4) I noticed a plastic Phillips knob on the top left corner of your engine bay. There's a hose that connects to the air intake. On your vehicle it seems to be tighten all the way in. The one on my Sambar is barely on. Do you know what it does? One of the hoses that comes out of that connector seems to go to the supercharger
I'm not sure, the vehicle has been sold.
@@CafeRacerLab thank you
Where can I buy a new harness
www.vinwire.com.au
Thanks for the video. Any reviews on those mirros? Do they losen up?
Thanks for the help, especially the zip ties. One thing though, I trapped a small screwdriver between the motor housing and the zip tie. This allowed me to pull the brushes fully in and was easier to snip the tie afterwards.
Hmmm, that bonnet latch spring. One end of mine is hooked on to the "V" shaped piece, but there's nowhere for the other end to hook into. I don't have the indentation in the top of the bonnet slam panel.
would the bumper frm a glx apv fit in a gl apv , and vice versa?
Probably but I'm not 100% sure, in Australia we only had the base model white van.
@@CafeRacerLab thanks mate. useful footage still. thank u
Aren't you supposed to center the backing plate? The straps allow for adjustment, the mass could not be centered and wobble
Can I ask where do you get your panels from,thanks
I purchased the factory panels from Minisport (South Australia) or minimakeovers1275.com.au (Vic, Australia) some panels like the fuel tank cover and dash tray came directly from the UK from Mokepanels.com
One question: from the tachometer come 3 cables (black, red, green) where each colour is connected ?? It's just that in the video I didn't understand it well, thank you mate.
Can the 2002 jeep cheeroke and liberty use sameball joints?
They may be different part numbers, your auto parts supplier should be able to supply you with the correct one.
Interni neri con la macchina blu scuro? Li trovo orribili.
Just curious, where is this Moke based, NZ?
In NSW Australia, I sold the Moke last year.
Really very useful, well explained.
I'm a big fan
Four years on and these are still informative and useful videos. Thanks for sharing 😊
Had some issue's fitting these type of mirrors, the grub screw isn't a sharp enough angle to bite into the plastic behind just kept skipping over the top, would have thought if they made the plastic behind just 1cm bigger would have made a massive difference.
Minis, there's always something. lol
Thanks so much, this was really helpful! I was actually able to reset the odometer numbers without removing the yellow gear on the end of the assembly, and also without removing that unit from the housing. I simply took off the two black face plates and fiddled with the number dials it like you showed. One other thought: when I went to put the needle back on, it didn't have enough spring tension to re-zero if I just stuck it on at the zero position. I needed to rotate the spring slightly clockwise a few degrees, then stick on the needle. This way it has some spring force to bring it back down against the resting spot wire. I did this with a very tiny screwdriver to advance the spring by pushing on the little notch down in the hole to rotate the spring, then put on the needle carefully holding the spring in that position. Awesome video!
Hi, how did you get off the needle?? I can't get it off in my speedo
Just very carefully pulled it off.
@@CafeRacerLab I just did this procedure last night- my needle was stuck on really tight. I put a piece of cardboard like shown here in the video, then I used two screw drivers under it from both sides and leveraged up. The needle popped off with an alarming sound, but no harm done.
Thank you for sharing info on this kit. I just purchased the same thing. Informative!
Thank you! 😊
Do you happen to have the dimensions for the rotisserie? I need to build one for my moke.
Sorry, didn't save the measurements.
Thank you so much. Detailed and exactly what I needed to know. Cheers
Hi cafe racer I’ve been watching you’re CZcams videos on the moke build, really appreciate the time you have put into showing all the details of the build, I’m currently building my moke and would like to ask you some questions about the hi lows and donut setup if you feel inclined,Theo
Perfect! Thanks for your video🍀🤩
love the zip tie trick on the brushes. Thank for sharing.
$95 TO $200 AUD to buy a kit.
Lucas is the prince of darkness, the reason they drink warm beer in England is that Lucas builds the refrigerators..
Great video BTW I have a question about the need for an additional spring for the choke, I am getting my 1275 Moke back on the road after a 30 year holiday my HS4 carby doesn’t have 2 springs on it. Does the choke need to have that second spring installed as per your video?
Thanks…..
Really great 'How To' videos. Sadly I only caught up with you 2 years late! Just worth mentioning that Aussie MK I Minis had quarter lights and wind up windows whereas the UK and other market Mk Is had sliding windows. I have used Newtons for some time (now doing a '78 Mk IV) and found them to be 100% but maybe they just let that hole slip past QC. But overall that interior looks superb. On later Minis the lock release mechanism had slots for the screws so maybe the handle mechanism could have been slid back to help?
Thanks for making this, I got stranded today when my starter that was perfect one minute all of a sudden started spinning really slow with a dead short to the case making it red hot and smoke from inside. Thanks to this video I'm going to take it apart and inspect that joint and the wrapping on the coils too.
Did you end up having any issues at all?
The expansion tank had leaks so I ended up just setting it up like an overflow tank instead. The standard pressure cap was put on the radiator.
@@CafeRacerLab ah okay. So does an overflow have to be lower or higher than rad, or does positioning not really matter? I’m thinking about installing one on a classic mini
I think it should work regardless of the height difference as the fluid moves by pressure differences. The expansion tank should have a tube like a straw that reaches the bottom.
Can you use a 3 pin switch? The one I have seems to be a little odd. When off (position1), all pins are open. Centre position, pins 1 & 2 close. Position 3, all pins closed - shorted together. Will this work? Where would I connect the park terminal on the wiper motor in this case?
Hi you didn't cover the final adjustment on the jet. You mentioned that you would do it later I think 2 turns was that to lower or raise the jet?
Two turns to lower the jet.
You have your jeep BLD system???
Hi, i was trying to replace the needle of the piston, but it's sticked , very hard. Do you know any secret to take it off please?
Hi! can you tell me where did you plug the wires on the ignition switch? on mine i have the terminals numbered from 1 to 3.
I can't remember and I can't easily see the connections without removing the heater. You will need to refer to a wiring diagram.
I have the diagram but it doesnt specify which wire goes into which terminal. Thank you anyway, your videos have been helpfull @@CafeRacerLab
Thank you, great video, appreciated.
Hello, where did you buy the complete replacement?
Ebay
Thanks for showing how these mirrors mount, I have some for my MGB though came without any instructions or the fixing screws - all very confusing!
Did you install them on the mg yet? Looking at some for mine.
@@101lilwest not as yet though looks like an easy enough job all fixed from the outside. It's the original spec as you may know...
@@flickthenick oh ok yeah it looks like a easy job to install
Wow it super cool I wish you all the best I learned so many things about mini thank you very much.
love the grommet hack for the light shrouds
