FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Mini oil pumps are susceptible to premature failure caused by excessive large particle contamination of the oil, mainly metallic debris created by the gearbox. The situation is not helped by the oil getting to the pump before being filtered. Mini Spares has developed components to help minimise this problem, including these in line magnetic oil traps. Their design allows easy fitment, as the adapter simply replaces the standard oil pick up pipe blanking plate on the back of the gearbox. It’s position in the oil supply gallery necessitates frequent removal of the trap to clean collected particles out, more so for the filtered version. Failure to do this will cause premature failure of the pump and possibly engine bearings.
There are no hard and fast rules for this periodic maintenance as vehicle usage will determine debris build up. Obviously a carefully driven road car will not need as frequent attention as a race car. Certainly clean it at e...

5 SPEED GEARBOX DISMANTLING SHEET
Your 5 speed gearbox has a special 5th gear, laygear, and reverse idler shaft assembled with a modified gearbox main case and a different speedo end casting. These parts must be removed before the main gearbox cluster can be removed. When a clean work area has been prepared, the removal of the 5th gear and laygear is as follows.
1. Remove the new speedo end casting assembly with the two bearings. These are a slide fit in the casting and are not positively retained. 2. Remove taper bearing No LM11749 off the 5th gear shaft along with the needle roller bearing carrier from the bore of the 5th gear, leaving the gear loose on the shaft. 3. Remove diff and housing as per workshop manual, turn the selector rod at base of diff housing area anti clockwise-and with the spool pull out as far as possible...

Mini Spares Project Min
Mini Spares decided to produce an up market twin headlamp grille, because so many Cooper owners needed to renew their grille or replace the front valance mounted spotlamps. Their location means that they get damaged so easily on impact. whether it be by cars reversing into them when parking or from minor accidents.
To produce this grille with stainless steel slats meant that we had to use the back plate from the current cars. which goes back to the first MK2 in 1968. Using this back plate would obviously govern the size of the lamps we could use. Originally it was hoped that a 6" lamp could be used. but because a reinforcement ring was required only a 5.75" or 5.5" lamp could be used which was not what we re...
