hi I have a cooper s mk2 68 and I would like to find out the cars original fuel filter and maybe someone has a pic of the rear boot ? as so I know how its mounted. I also have a problem with wipers. when they work they get stuck on the rubber of the windscreen. anyone knows why ?
thank you good day

Pop the wipers off with a swift tug and move them round one spline. Can't help with the rest I'm afraid!

thank you much appricaited

I doubt there ever was a fuel filter other than the screens in the pump outlet.

thanks and where seat belts optional on a cooper s ?
thanks again

On a 68 Cooper S seat belts would have been fitted as standard.

1967 New cars in the UK must be fitted with front seat belts by law. Great Britain requires 3-points in front outboard positions.

1968 Great Britain requires retrofit of 3-point belts in front of newer cars.

thanks, and would you know what exact seatbelt was used by any chaNce? as i want to keep the car as original as can be.
best wishes from Malta

BMC fitted either Kangol (alloy buckle) or Britax (plastic buckle) 3 point fixed belts.

Similar to these;

Correct Kangol buckle (wrong webbing)



Correct Britax buckle



The plastic britax was the most common.

Inertia reels like this;



But were uncommon.
