- Welcome!
This episode is about restoring the Mini front subframe.
In the first part of the subframe restoration we cleaned and painted the subframe. Now it's time to assemble everything back on the subframe.
The castle nuts on the wheelhubs will be torqued when the driveshafts are installed.
Feel free to leave a comment!
Kind Regards

professionally done ..excellent video I will use this as a tutorial when I install my own restoration front subframe on a 1975 mini 998cc
Good attempt
Great job mate...just would informe us also next time or further videos the torque that you use on wrench !Overall brilliant
Wonderfully laid out and easy to follow.. great job and thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to doing the same this winter. Your great video got me motivated !
Thanks. Great video. I learned a lot.
Great job! I will be reassembling both front and rear subframes as soon as we get our new red dot rubber doughnuts. Thanks for posting this video.

You did a really nice job on this 👏 great work. New to you channel but glad I found it 😉
Thanks Ian!
I'm going to do the same job... Ispiring video, thanks!!

That caliper is upside down, bleeder should be facing up
Hello, thanks, it was indeed upside down, but it's fixed already 👍
shouldn't the bleeder valve be facing the top of the caliper ?
Just wonder WHY you didn't use poly bushes.
Dont place grease on the bottom of the joint cups keeps them high in the socket unless you going for concourse resto use more stainless such as the grease nipples and those bump stop and bushes would be better in silicon could have powdercoted the subframe
Powder coated looks good for 5mins hamerright looks good for 5 too 10 years😊
You're alive! nice video as usual
Thanks! Yes, there was some time between the previous video 😂 I've done some body work on the mini 🙂
@@restoringaclassic9489 bodyworkkkk i'll have to go trhough it at some point, not the funniesttttt
When i'm getting "tired" of restoring parts, I do bodywork and visa versa 😂
@@restoringaclassic9489 yeah ahahaha winter got me (can’t rly paint with our classic 3º dry wether or our famous 10º heavy rain, ty Belgium) so I’m doing Carb (using ur vid btw) and Distributor, I’ll go for driveshaft next I guess !
Same here, waiting to put on epoxy primer 😅 But there are enough parts to keep you busy 😁
Restoring A classic, I have a question about auto parts, could you tell me where did you buy parts for this car?
Hi! Most of the parts I buy at minisport.com (www.minisport.com/ )
Ideaal dit filmpje! Ik ga er ook net aan beginnen. Heb je toevallig ook een lijstje van alle onderdelen?
Have fun! 😋 Heb je een lijstje nodig van alle onderdelen die je moet vervangen voor een revisie (rubbers en dergelijke), of een lijstje met alle onderdelen?
@@restoringaclassic9489 ik heb alles nieuw gekocht. Maar weet niet als alle boutjes en moeren erbij zijn.
@@restoringaclassic9489 een lijstje met alle onderdelen. ( ik ga een volledige restauratie doen. Van 0-100%)
Ik kijk altijd op tekeningen om de onderdelen te vinden en te kijken of ik alles heb, zoals deze van Minisport --> www.minisport.com/selector-front-subframe
@@restoringaclassic9489 thanks!
Idd gemakkelijk zo.
how did you know the torque of the bolts?
Hi! I get the specs from the Haynes manual, but you can also get them online. www.minimania.com/Mini_Torque_Wrench_Settings_597
From where do u get the parts?
Hi! I get my parts from Minisport.com and a local supplier in Belgium :)
