  • Common clearances reference
  • Engine block & head identification
  • Wiring diagrams by year & model
  • Carburettor needle library (SU HS2/HS4/HIF44)

THE MINI MISSION

Keeping the Classics on the Road

Classic Mini DIY started out of my small driveway workshop in 2015. I always focus on two things: keeping your Classic Mini on the road and making DIY car work accessible for all skill levels. I make DIY videos and tutorials showing exactly how to complete a wide range of jobs on your Classic Mini. I also partner with world-class manufacturers to deliver top-of-the-line products to personalize and ensure the performance of your Classic Mini.
