Whilst looking for reference material I came across this http://www.spiritracerclub.org/mini-moke-mule-de-course-ou-a-tout-faire/ Some very strange and some barely recognisable takes on the Moke, and some that just made me laugh out loud.

Thin acetate sheets, in varying thicknesses, in book formare available from various arty-farty companies, available from online sellers. Coming in book from they are unscratched, unlike sheets in your LMS that appear to have been interlaced with sandpaper and the sweepings off the shop floor.

Whilst searching for tyres this came up, loads of detail photos HERE

Sat sitting watching a space. I had a look at the Ford Testing YouTube video, very enlightening, very grainy. Keith and tech! 🙄

Thanks for the responses. I am also looking at other events and schemes beyond those the kit provides, Ulster and Manx rallies and gravel stage where other tyres apart from slicks were used. There are photos where I can see heavily treaded tyres with deeper sidewalls, but as Windy37/Gary stated photo evidence in any clarity is sadly lacking. I have a contact who rallied a Cosworth both in the UK and abroad but he's not answering emails so I'm stuck in a rut. I shall look at the sources suggested.

I'm trying to find information for gravel tyres for this car, despite trawling the internet of truth detail is scant. The wheel diameter for gravel appears to be 16" but as to tyre size and tread pattern for the Michelins and Pirellis of the period my search has proved fruitless. If anyone can enlighten me with tyre dimensions and photos of tread patterns I'd be overjoyed, In the meantime some resin treaded wet tarmac tyres to fit the kit rims have fallen off a 3D printer near me. Look below for more on those...

Reference here for the Autolec sticker https://www.holden.co.uk/p/multiple_sticker

From Works Escorts in Detail by Graham Robson there is a Mk1 with a blue triangle with thin red lightning flash with white lettering below reading 'BATTERY MASTER SWITCH' this is rotated 90 degrees clockwise from horizontal. In your image the pull switch could be fitted through the lightning bolt, masking it.

That well known pairing are back, this time saving the day by thwarting the Chocolate Bomber. Merry Christmas to one and all.

I did too. The collection of Rally Cars video was, for my interests, much more interesting. I wish I had a shed that contained more than a lawnmower😢 A very enrertaining series, well done JS.

Want, want, want, that's all we ever get from you.😉 Then I'm usually the fool to go ahead and produce something 🙄

Found this on MCN Website for anyone interested in bikes. Food for thought for those wanting to mod a standard boxer kit. https://www.bmw-motorrad.de/de/experience/stories/heritage/customizing-contest-2022.html#/section-entdecke-die-teilnehmer

If you wait for the OP to come back to the thread again, given he's in good ol' yehaa USA time, I'm sure all will be revealed, or not.

Hey Keith, really surprised to see you in this thread!!😉 Try this link, https://plusalfaromeo-amebaownd-com.translate.goog/posts/34558373?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Let me know if you get any further with your quest for the hioly grail.

I heard at SMW that someone is planning a version with the flat front end that will be available in the new year. Supervan - I was chatting with Nick Belbin about the arches as I thougt the rears were those from the Mk1 works Escort, but he begged to difffer.

Not sure at the moment. I may continue my beverage brand theme or perhaps a car parts delivery van.

Just to clear up any confusion, I have it on very good authority 😉 this is not a 'Transkit' requiring a donor kit.

Sadly time ran out for this kit build to make it fully finished for Telford. I may take the bits for drooling over but they will be under a cover, just in case. Here are some WIP images. As I’ll be down at the show it will be a few days before I am able pop my head up here again. All new suspension, drivetrain and other components. Tyres are supplied seperately from the rims and there are hubcaps to chrome yet. The springs have enough give that should a big load be added a good deal of sag can be achieved. 😀 Diesel nose version for a change. Internal rib details Rear door options, I plumped for the twin doors which will be open when mounted. On the Mk1 the bulkhead was an option, I've decided to leave it off for a change, All new cab internals, as you'd expect the differences over the MkII are many and quite marked. Much deatil painting to do on these parts. Thanks for dropping by

Is that 'Rainy as Hell'!?

Don't forget some nice sooty depostits on the tailpipe tips. 😃

I must make a note of things you don't want 🤣 And wear a baseball cap backwards whilst thinking about 13" wheels on a mini 🙄 I had Wolfrace slots on my mini. Will you be stalking the halls at Telford?

Of course you could always search that well known UK supplier of bitz for various options for classic mini wheels and at a reasonable price 😀 And on the subject of BMW MINI’s, run flat tyres NO!

Or you could try HERE a complete range of LR colours.

I think you mean Motobitz 😉

Ha! As if I haven't got enough to do. Can you really imagine the size of the decals sheet for those? Then there will be the bright spark who must have a particular month on their tax disc. My suggestion, well the clean version, photocopy a beer mat and shrink to scale 🤣
