Mine fit fine even though I didn't fit the washer between the bracket and the bonnet lol. On the to do list!
My clubby was on minivation's stand at Castle Combe :)

As requested - this is in the same position as earlier, ie fully extended. They miss the wipers through the whole movement. Pic taken from under the bonnet, well from the engine bay as there is not "under" anymore

 

 

 

That's awesome thank you!

I'm having one helluva job making them fit nicely on my clubby 

 

Whys that then, no issues fitting them on my Clubby.

 

 

You're a better man than me then!  They push the back end of the bonnet up so its above the wing by 1/2".  Been fiddling with them for a month off and on, they're driving me crackers, on and off

I had a word with Ben about mine doing the same although mine does push down flat. He reckoned some washers would sort that out but I think we had wires crossed there. Have you pushed the bracket up fully on the bonnet mount??

What does that rear washer do? Mine is fitted.

Mine will push down flat but springs back up. Do you mean the bonnet mount in the up-and-under-really-difficult-to-get-to place under the scuttle?  I'm not honestly sure where I got to, I've not fiddled with it for a couple of weeks.

No the actual bonnet bracket itself, mine pushes down and stays down. I have not really had a proper go at tweaking it as i will be replacing this bonnet.

Yes, I topped them out very soon after first trial - the bonnet was sticking up an inch at first :-(

[madaboutcherry]

there's a 'how to fit' feature in this months minimag.

[maccers]

Octobers edition?

[megamini_jb]

I wasn't sure about these at first as I like the good ol whack your head ones but more I see these, the more I want!

Mini looks sweet by the way!

Believe me you will say to yourself why did i never have these fitted earlier. Just makes your life so much easier. Yes you could unbolt the bonnet etc etc etc but just being able to open it without fitting the stay is nice, but now changing the HG or any other big jobs really is a doddle and on the + side no more holes in my skull.

 

They are not cheap but worth while.

[maccers]

They are a very well made and such a great / simple idea! As time goes on I cant wait to see what other things come out from companies like this - air flow to side mounted radiator would be a great modification...!

[Richie83]

Got a favour to ask, could you take a photo of where they mount to the wing brace?

[HarrysMini]

There is indeed a how to in the October issue of Minimag.
