They look nice mate!
Liking the cards, never throught of riv/clinch nutting them on.
nice project, what is the lenght of the short oil filter and can they be bought anywhere online?
thanks
Not sure on length, it's a cm or two shorter than the standard one though.
Just pop in to your local Vauxhall dealer if you can and ask for a VOF28 filter, they're about £2 each on trade club. Imagine you could find one on eBay/order one from AutoVaux too.
See this thread which has lots of part numbers for shorter filters too: http://www.16vminiclub.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17952
Had the idea earlier this week, used 42 rivnuts and bolts but cost less than a tenner to fit them so can't complain.Quote:

oooooh, like the carbon goodness! I used rubber nuts on mine
velcro tape is one of the best methods I've seen as it's a 2 min job and stops rattling too, all credit to admin Kev though lol
edit: Not to say the rivnuts aren't very smart btw, probably a bit more 'permanent' or finished too, just that velcro was also a good idea, didn't mean to sound negative at all lol
Good point Scott will clean that off tomorrow lol
No probs MK didn't take it negatively, suppose it makes sense to have them velcro'd on, would have saved me two evenings of measuring and drilling and tinkering, oh well. Some black bolts (about a fiver off eBay) and you won't see 'em hopefully.
