Reading the other thread I believe those parts may be off a 998 Mini. If they are off a 998cc Mini they are the wrong size for a 1275 S.
If they are not off a 998 disregard my post.

Roger, are you in SE Michigan often?  If so, the header and exhaust are yours.

I would be interested in the LCB header and RC40 exhaust.

I am sure you'll have no trouble getting rid of all of that.

Nice gesture.

I am located in Milford, MI 48380.

Cleaning up around the shop and getting rid of things I will never use - Everything is free for local pickup, but I don't feel like dealing with shipping.

RHD "fast ratio" steering rack.  This came with my mini, but I replaced it for the normal ratio as that was more than quick enough for me on the streets.  Worked fine.

A non boosted brake master cylinder.  This came with my car as well, but was the wrong part for my car.  This is a stepped bore unit and my car is one of like 2 years that were plumbed diagonally split, so this is the wrong part and I replaced it with a straight bore part.  Nothing was wrong with it when removed.

Two rear wheel cylinders - These were also on the car when I got it, but they were the wrong bore size for a diagonally split car.  Worked fine when removed, no leaks.

Heater Control Cable - When I went to the 1275, my cable was an inch too short and I had to buy a longer one.  This one was only a couple of years old 

Aftermarket digital clock from the 80s.  Oh yeah baby, this was also in the car when I got it and I removed it

Upper radiator hose for a 998.  I had changed the hose fairly recently, but the 1275 uses a different hose, so this is useless to me now.

The little chrome bracket that drops the steering column down a couple of inches.  This is a nice mod.  Makes getting in slightly harder, but once you are in, the steering wheel is in a much better place.

A windshield washer bottle from 1978.  This one was dirty and I did not feel like cleaning it, so I jut bought a new one.

Two temperature senders.  One with red insulation, one with black.  My car was running hot, and I was hopeful it was the sensor so I tried changing them.  That wasn't the problem, the sensors are fine.

An unused aftermarket ammeter that came with the car and I removed

Bracket that goes from the thermostat housing to the radiator on a 998.  It is different on a 1275 so I don't need this one.

Headlight trim bezel.  This was on the car when I got it.  It has a ding in it, so I changed it.  If you want to save it from the recycle bin, you can. 

Also the LCB header and RC40 exhaust from my other post are still available

Everything is free for local pickup, take some, take all, don't feel like shipping.
