Post by johnv »

I have a new servo, and the minispares MK3 brackets .. I really can’t see how on earth it will all fit together where it’s supposed to .. have I got the right bits? Thanks

The rear bracket only uses two of the 3 studs on the servo.

There are only 2 on this one .. I can’t see any way the bracket fixes on and matches up with any part of the car!
The angles all seem wrong

Here's a pic of original 1971 MKIII S brackets still in their original positions.....Not a great pic, but, good enough to see what you need.....

Both brackets bolt onto the right hand inner Flitch panel

Here's the servo installed, but, you can't really see the rear bracket.....

The Mini Spares Mk 3 S servo brackets do not fit a Mk 3 S servo - or at least they did not fit the NOS servo I had.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.

I think this is my problem.. The angle seems all wrong on the big bracket.. do you have a picture of a rear bracket that fits?
