July 14, 2005: The Mini needs a bit of work on cooling (as do I, it's waaay too hot!
) which has taken away from Seven time. The Mini will get its own site shortly. Still, I did manage to finish the work on the diff last night. I just need to finish the mounts for the side points. I'll do the same thing that CMC did - it can be seen here on Heikki's site. Then it's back to my home garage with the bits so I can put some plate on the transmission tunnel and get this all bolted up. After that, it's simply a matter of reworking the (ugly) transmission cover, wiring in the new instruments and modifying the housing, adding sway bars and reassembling. The new harnesses (proper Seven ones with pull-down lap belts) will be here in a couple of weeks. I have some work to do before then!
