the arches on the yellow mini what group are they and do they have the screws showing to hold them on

[biker]

the yellow mini is tims not sure what group they are or if they had screws showing but my first set (the ones on the green cooper next to the yellow one) they were group 5 they were screwed from underneath i then changed to sportspack arches dont know if that helps mate

[timsmini]

The arches on my yellow clubby where self modified euro group 5 and they where held on with small 8mm nuts and bolts from under the arch

that mini took so much of my time and money that it simply just exhausted me mentally and physically. i had a few months of fun with it and to be honest with you i got bored and fancied something quicker and less time consuming.gutted now that i got rid of it.took me just over a year to build and just two days to strip down again. the coil overs were a great investment but took a few weeks to set up properly. on a happier note just come back from bridgend after putting a deposit on another pocket rocket...will be picking it up on wednesday..cant wait..DEAN.

I knew I recognized it !!!!!!
