As per the title, is there anything special securing the control and fuse boxes in location? I have seen or heard of possibly a plastic captive but?
TIA

Check out the inner wing, by the bulkhead and also in front of where the flasher relay is fixed. There should be "holes." I did consider nylon fixings but used nuts and bolts to fix mine between diagonal strut and bulkhead. The main problem is the heater hose.

Thanks Cliff
I have got the fuse box in and the heater hose (what a bugger that was!)
If there is no special plastic captive nut I will secure the control box with nuts and bolts. (Yes the 2no square holes seem to line up well)

These?

Yep, they look like what I am after, any idea on a part number? Is it 21A305??
Thanks

The fuse box has a smaller one of those plastic inserts.

Thanks Andrew
I assume:
Control box require 2no 21A305
Fuse box require 1no GFK3428
Hope this is right

These little square plastic fixing thinggies in various sizes are also available from BRESCO.com. Always good to keep handy too. Here's a tip for anyone rebuilding the front end of his/her mini. I used these plastic thinggies for EVERY application where a screwed self tapper went into the bodywork. The grille, grille parts, indicators etc etc. File the priginal holes square to suit the size plastic thinggy I was using before paint and that's it. No metal to metal contact ever again. Also did the same refitting the wheel spats on my Mini City

You're out!
