This time we're fitting the new Heritage front subframe to the MkI, plus a look at the new engine. Part 18 - • Project 63 part 18 - N... www.med-engineering.co.uk
Fantastic work chaps and looks stunning. 🎉 Do you not run air filters? I get the performance gains from the ram pipes but isn't there a risk having the carb inlets exposed? Is this okay for a Road car? Also where does the breather pipe go to from the MED timing cover? Is that going to a second catch tank under the passensger wing?
If we fancy a longer road trip we'd install a filter, but it's not going to be a high mileage car. We're going to weld an additional inlet to the rocker cover on that side.
I love how this car is turning out, just the right amount of upgrades. Did this Mini have a push button start? What's the reason for changing to a solenoid?
Thanks Andrew. The pre-made loom we bought was for a later MkI with alternator, so for simplicity we decided to bypass the floor start and fit a later turn-key ignition switch. In an ideal word we would have wired up from scratch, but couldn't justify the time/cost.
Does having the fuel filter up that high prevent you using the last 1/4 or so of fuel? Or is the pump able to suck up and through the filter to the pump?
@@MEDEngineeringTechVideos basically got engine loom working but not lights, no abs sensors and no radio etc, I’ve run out of wiring skill so looking for a reputable person to help - you guys seem to really know your stuff
