I think you'll find they rub on the rear edge of the rear trailing arm mount....

You know the drill, though. If you have a spare on the shelf, your original part will NEVER break. Isn't it always like that?

Of course, if you do sell the spare, it's nearly guaranteed that you'll need it about two weeks later.

...would I get more if I broke my car up into pieces?

Shame that after (should you do so) spending £950.00, the speedo will probably have to come part to change that pesky worn nylon odometer arm

Rim looks like it will come off easily though so that's a real bonus and therefore a potentially easy fix.

Very nice condition speedo though - just an observation about the odometer reading

Look at this on eBay
1967 Mini Classic Mini MK1 Panel Van - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272600784352

That must violate a basic universal law of something.... Thou Shall Not Promote Bad Taste??

Panel fit isn't bad though.

1975 Clubman

A lot of differences between that Australian Clubman (external hinges, smaller doors, rear windows etc etc) and the UK versions aren't there .

I think there are less differences between that and a Mk2 Mini than an British Clubman. The lower dash is also very different and some have rear belts that have their top mounting in the centre of the rear parcel shelf.

Our clubman was essentially a plain old mk1 shell with Australian designed burst proof door locks/windows/pillars, a wider spaced left cancelling wiper panel/wiper mech and the clubman nose.
The single skin small reg plate boot lid remained since late 64 as did the standard back window from start to end in 1978.
All of them were Leyland Minis from 1971....no Morrises or Austins.

FFS!

This latest one sent me into the shed last night and I can confidently now declare to all members of the Mk1 Performance Forum that my collection of classic Mini spares is now worth more than my house

I reskinned a door once. Looked perfect..... couldn't get it to fit the aperture at all ...... sold it at an auto jumble

Now only use original doors.

As above.

last pair of doors I bought had been reskinned and they wouldn't even fit the door holes in my race car as they where so big!

dammit!
