Just a heads up everyone, one thing I forgot to mention that is super important, is if you are doing this conversion you will need a REAR BRAKE PROPORTIONING VALVE. This will make sure your brakes don't lock up due to a drastic pressure differential between the front and back brakes. Links to this valve are below. Note: installing this valve will require a full brake bleed.
The last 24hrs iv watched so many of your videos! I am about to buy my first mini and restore it! I can’t wait to get started now!
omg, u just changed my life with that use of a jackstand post with the jack. so much better than using a 2x4
In the middle of my conversion right now. This video would have been handy a few weeks ago! Love it!
Beautifully clear how to video. Even if a person wasn't thinking of doing this conversion the video shows clearly how the various bits, steering, brakes and suspension all fit together at the wheel end.
I find it really sweet that our A series mini has fans across the pond. Wise words from an old sage on the top/bottom ball joints: "if you can grease in there, they are fooked!"
Awesome video been looking for an instructional video on this upgrade!
This was a very well made video , liked your ball joint splitter .
Great Explanation!
Great video, good content, technical approaches and editing... well done.. I am rebuilding a mni I just picked up and your video's have been and are helpfull
Excellent step by step video mate!
Cole, Great job on the conversion & a master class in how to! It‘s a split pin on the castle nut not a Cotter pin! A cotter pin has a flat on one
Thank you this is so comprehensive 👌🏽
To stop the drive shaft coming out of the differential, or worse, pulling apart the inner CV joint (I’ve heard them called “pot joints” or “tripod joints”) and/or tearing its boot, I have made up a simple special clamp. It’s two of the pressed steel, serrated saddles from u-bolt exhaust clamps joined by two suitable lengths of threaded bar with nuts and washers. I can clamp the drive shaft to the rear arm of the suspension wishbone (control arm) so firmly in place that I can wield my leather/copper mallet very energetically. BTW, I recommend cleaning the grease off the drive shaft and wishbone with brake cleaner to get the best grip between them. I also use brake cleaner to degrease the male and female tapers of ball-joints and their seats to get maximum friction and stop the pin turning, especially when I’m assembling them with nyloc nuts. PS I also have a special puller for CV joints but it' a bit big and unwieldy for Minis.
Great video Cole :)
Love it!
AMAZING ONE🍻
Nice work bro 👍👍👍
Great video as ever, especially as a drum to 7.5 disc conversion is definitely on my To Do list!! That car does need a front end restoration though, too much rust on the inner wings for my liking, reminds me of mine before I restored it :-)
Very good video how about alignment between front and rear wheels?
