Welcome to the Mechanical
section of the MK1 Performance Conversions technical section. As you can see
its a bit thin at the moment, but I will be adding more stuff as and when I
can.
Fix For Early Coil Spring Clutches.
If you click on the
image opposite you will find a really good solution to a slipping early
coil sprung clutch. The pre 1964 cars were fitted with these clutches.
They wern't very good when new and as they are used they get weaker and
weaker. Replacement springs have not been available for years. By following
the instructions given you can converst your early coil spring clutch
to use the standard selection of Diaphram springs. This is the onlt reasl
sollution to this problem.

& S.
Copies of the workshop
manual giving all the relevant torque settings for the MK1, the MK1 Cooper
& Cooper S, Most settings are listed in the Mini section. Anything
different is listed under the specific model category. As you will see,
the Cooper & S sections are a bit thin!
