Morning all, I know this has been talked about before but does anyone have correct measurements for the holes in the bonnet to position the Mk1 Morris Cooper and S badges please?

Thanks Tim

That not an Austin one??

Oops Sorry my fault It's the wrong picture, I misread the thread

I just measured my Morris badge on the bonnet and it is only 14,5mm from lower end of the bonnet.
It is original bonnet from never restored Mini.

Does any one have measurements where are S holes on the bonnet?

Those dimensions cannot be right.
The pins on the S are offset to the bonnet centre line, so they both cannot be 369mm from the LHS of the bonnet and 366 from the RHS.

I would say the upper measurements are transposed, RHS should be 369 and LHS 366

That is the pic of my original bonnet on my Austin 970s and the dims are as listed I can remember triple checking when I did the image about 7yrs back. Gray

Not questioning the accuracy of the numbers, just their relative positions on the diagram.

If the dimensions are as stated on the dimensioning lines, then the pins would be vertical. If the dimension line offset shown in the yellow ring is correct and there is not a 3mm offset to the sides of the bonnet, the dimensions in the black and blue rings cannot be correct because to cause an offset in the pin position at the centre the dimension to the edge has to change.
