Hi all,

Looking for the 997 Cooper tappet/side covers that look as follows:



Reference image borrowed from forum user Lakeland997 (thank you).

I’m based in Brisbane, Australia, but can post to a U.K. address as my family are still based there and can forward the item on.

Many thanks in advance!

Thomas

Still looking for these… raid your cupboards for me!

Is that type used on Morris minor and A35s ?

I think I may have a spare set. Let me have a look in the next week or so. I’m in the US. Shipping may be cost prohibitive.

I don’t believe so, not to my knowledge. There were many variations of this side cover breather for the A-series, but I think this one was unique to the 997cc Cooper.

Hello Thomas, I have 2 side plates here but I haven't seen the tube for some time.They are yours if you want to pop down to the northern Gold Coast.

Hi Glen,

Unfortunately I’m without a car at the moment, but thank you for your extremely kind offer!

I have a couple of potential leads I’m awaiting responses from and will absolutely send you a PM if I’ve no luck finding a complete set and you are willing to post to New Farm, 4005?

Many thanks mate, appreciate the support

Unfortunately, it appears I have misplaced the pipe for mine.

Hi mate, no trouble, thanks so much for checking your stock. The search continues…!

Hello,

I found my spare set and they are the other style for the 997. I believe this style was also used on the 1071. So it must have been changed over later in production for the 997. Sorry I can’t help on this one.

Ive found a tappet chest cover but can't post a picture due to my computer illiteracy ,contact me bobbennetts@hotmail.com for more details if still looking .
