Need a few parts that I can't find over here.

First is a full wipersystem from the RHD BL mini, everything over here is LHD and can't use it off course.
Second the correct fuel sender for the mg midget tank. (6 hole one, i got the locking ring type)
3rd windscreen demisting thing, would like to use something electric as I had several issues with rad type heaters in the past in other cars (ie hot boiling water over my feet) And it's only for demisting, not for heating as the engine produces enough heat I think.

Try ''Moss Europe'' online for classic mini and midget spares Werner. ''Car Builder Solutions'' in Kent UK are also good for all sorts of bits/bobs My sender came via MOSS in the UK.

Are you sure you can't use it? You can make the wipers park on the opposite side by turning the wheel boxes upside down.

How about this for a fan to blow on the screen for a demister

And as for the wiper motor you will probably find that the only difference is where the breaks in the bundy tubing are and as has been said you alter which side they park by turning the wheel boxes over or IIRC you can do it by altering the micro switch.

If the guage is an ETB one then contact them

IIRC they also do a range of repairs on other makes as well.

This fan is actually manufactured as a bilge fan (to remove fuel vapour out of the nether regions of a boat). They have appeared on ebay at a fraction of the price Merlin charge.

Do you mean i can use a lhd system and adjust it? Would make finding bits a lot simpler.

Well, still need a windscreen so I think I will go that way then, didn't think of it, wich one did you exactly get, there's a bunch of them on the site.

And for the fuelsender, I just cut up the original one and made myself a ring with the holes in it and brazed it onto the one I cut up, it fits

Only have to figure out what thread those holes are in the tank, anyone know?

On the subject of windscreens see Wayside Adhesives Direct on ebay for the bonding kit £10.99 + £3.99p&p whereas Car Builder Solutions is £24.00 + p&p

Same brand exactly!

Yes I think that if you get a LHD system and have a look it will be quite obvious how to alter it. If not post some pictures on here and I'm sure advice will br forthcoming

Yup
Worked in Suffolk until we took early retirement last summer, have been on "holiday" in Aviemore since last August with a short break looking after a friends flat/cat in Torquay last september now back here again looking after the mog, I don't know how I managed to fit work in
But I can certainly recommend the life

I have to say I'm really looking forward to 2009 and am finding work motivation difficult now I've made the decision to retire

I know the feeling. I used to work in the NHS and realy enjoyed my work but the Government targets got silly and I decided that what I was being asked to do was not appropriate so I got out. Once I had decided to go and got the ok I had to wait 6 months and found motivation dificult but stuck it out, now I'm enjoying life.
