I am pretty sure it's just two screws, one in each of the holes diagonally.

New step, the lights on the Cooper
Image

Next step is bring the mini to the rollerbank to get the good needles in the carburateurs.
Also a new exhaust is on the way from England, a center

Next step I look for head lamp covers, I see in MS a type with black strips and also on the site over Bryan Purves.
What is the correct covers ?
I don't know if it is beautiful on my mini, first look.

Also a sump guard, what type is a period ?

The lights look very nice ...the whole car looks very nice.
If you can't find light covers you like you can have
an upholstery shop make some.

Hi Wesley!

I have pictures of the Sumpguard fitted to my 62 Cooper.

The Car was of the road since 72, so i presume that it is pretty much period.

Once i can comprimate the pictures i will post them.
I promise i won't buy another MkI...
