Just thinking where does the day go when in the garage.
Lots of time thinking about the job, thinking about next job, looking at job, looking for bolts / nuts
So I wrote a list to see if that helped focus, it really does
Fit clock bracket, cut foam, slip bracket onto dash, snapped a stud. Will need to remove and replace grrr or will I get away with 3 studs?
Whilst looking for a clip for dash bracket I came across this. So spent time cleaning off over spray and polishing, this is where time goes
Then installed, had to drill new holes as I had filled with weld.
Rear light fitted, not too happy with the rubber fit, will need a bit of stretching and manipulation to get a good consistent fit around the light.
Lights also come with bolts, not the right size so the head rotates in the fitting.
Pushed the subframe into position, couldn't bolt it up into position, waiting on paint to dry on washers
Then onto the Glass, it looks pretty shabby, dirty and covered in over spray
Step 1 wash, it wont fit in the dishwasher
Step 2 Scraper - Overspray came off nicely, I did notice lots of grinder sparks on the glass (they were covered, or I thought they were !!)
The glass came up ok, it have scratches from years of the seal rubbing but I think they will be ok. I like the original green tint
This is the worst one
Good weekend in the garage.

I'm not cleaning it, it will be behind door card.
ok, im cleaning it but only a blast of brake cleaner
or maybe not, maybe paint
ok yes paint
They look nice
Now these bits
clean, bit of Krust, but i'm not painting these, the plating is pretty good in most places.
Will paint inside the channel that holds the glass as thats where the most rust is.

Did you use new rubbers for the lights? I ended up binning mine and used the originals they were that bad
Yes I ordered new lights and rubbers. The lights come with rubbers so I now have 2 sets. The originals are gone, showing 40 years of life.

Just found this it allows you to add to the basket, you never know!

What a great company to deal with. Can't purchase direct on website as they need to agree on delivery charge.
They have a contact page, responded immediately, came back with a cost to post
I agreed through an email with prepared invoice.
In the post same day for 8 Euro delivery fee. If only all Mini suppliers were this efficient. I will let you know if it appears.

Glad that link wasn’t a wild goose chase it’s amazing that you can still get these sort of parts that have been obsolete for years.
