But joe curto said i can use jb weld to seal the worn out hole.,, hmm i dunno what he meant about it.
for the meantime, i managed to slip a round rubber into the shaft to squeeze and sandwich the grease and produce a tighter seal. As seen in the pic.The rubber is originally use for faucet(gasket)

Also pick up a couple of 12 inch wheels and tires they should be able to work with them when aligning.

I did all measurements even, now it handles excellent!! So easy to stir...
Indeed, experience and mistake is the best teacher, im sure mr Haynes did a lot of mistakes too, to the extent that he even made a book from his past experiences.

Anyway, i have a question for you, i know you are the main man who spearheaded the MMW 2016, and the guy who reserved the qualcom stadium for the mini-khana or the obstacle course for the mini event and also the Crown plaza hotel where the participants stayed for 4days. and of course you are the main guy behind the success of the event. I know there were also a lady and another guy who took care of the advertisement equally awsome individual and their work is fantabulous.
Since you build vtec minis , id like to know what diameter and gauge of pipe are you using for the vtec mounting frame? 1 3/4 ? or 1 5/8 ?and with .095 or with .120 wall size?? HREW or DOM? i know HREW is so difficult to bend but very durable. And also i wanna ask why are these frame cost $2500 a piece?! It cost more than a used 1275 engine. And what welding method do you use to put them together? Tig? Mig? Arc? Or flex wire? With or without argon? These are just casual questions, if you wish not to answer them its ok, i understand.

Your link between the upper and lower arms cannot work (on any car) because the distance between the two ball joints is different than the distance between the arm pivots and/or the lengths of the arms is different. That means distance between the two points where you want to connect is constantly changing. Do this: Jack up the car, letting the wheel hang down. Mark 2 exact spots - one on the upper arm and one on the lower arm. Measure the distance between them. Now put a block under the wheel and lower the weight of the car onto it. Measure the distance again. If you linked the arms together, your link would break, one or the other suspension arm would break or bend, or a ball joint would be forced apart. Then for sure you'd be sliding or cart-wheeling down the highway.

Rubber bushings are a problem with all aftermarket vendors as far as I can tell. the quality or composition of the rubber is just not right! I have problems with bushings cracking and falling apart after little more than 6 month's in some cases. Doesn't matter if it's a Jaguar or MG or Mini there all crap!!
Mini's are like buses they come along in a bunch
