Bent,
Sorry for the delayed reply, but I'll definitely need a throttle cable like this. I've started fitting the kit and the existing cable is mounted solidly vertically - no way I'd get the bonnet fitted.
So this type of cable will be required. I'll use what I've got to get the car running for now and once there will have a cable made up.
I assume these will have a PTFE liner to prevent the cable from sticking.
ETA - I'm also a little worried as the air filter is hard up against the bulkhead of the car. Not sure what I can do about that (other than remove the air filter and fit a sock on the trumpet. And I'm a little confused over what breather pipes connect where on the new system. I'll try and compare the original inlet manifold to the new one I guess. |

A genuine Cox GTM of 1967 - 1 of the 55 early cars built with all the correct features.
Work on this car commenced about 30 years ago with the chassis and body being restored. But then the project was abandoned and dry stored since 1993.
It's a complete project with most of the suspension there, but no engine. Gear linkage mechanism present though. Also a brand new laminated windscreen and Perspex rear screen still in wrapper, replicated bonnet badge, lovely Cosmic Mk2 wheels and a map full of articles.
No paperwork whatsoever though.
Price 2,950 GBP |

Hi Bent, I'm not quite following your reply. Are you saying you just bent the throttle cable under the bonnet? What are you referring to with the MC?
Jim - I hadn't seen one of those brackets before. Good to know an alternative solution could be out there. I'm going to try and get things running first with the bonnet removed. I might look to see if I can change the angle of the SC cable bracket slightly, but if Bent has managed to get this set up running just by bending the throttle cable under the bonnet, I might be looking for a problem that isn't there. |

Garry, this looks to be a really interesting project. Where do you propose to place the batteries - where the fuel tank is currently, across the rear of the ca?
There a video on youtube by Jonny Smith, where he tests a classic mini that has been converted to electric by a commercial company, but I think if there's a solution that can be used/adapted more widely then there could be a future for kitcars in general, not just our MM's. |

Hi All
Havent been able to get onto the forum for ages, login issues etc.
Not much progress has been made on the conversion apart from mounting the motor properly into the front subframe and gathering a few items.
I may convert my mini scamp first to get all the testing and road development done first then either transfer into the marcos or do another conversion.
I have an instagram account electricclassicminis showcasing my project and all the other minis being converted across the globe.
