Looking for the paint details for a Mk 2 Australian Cooper S Engine.
I understand that most of the engine and gearbox was painted in the Australian metallic green.
Would anybody have more about the detail of parts painted for example was the water pump pulley painted yellow? etc.
Looking at repainting the engine so would like to get the detail correct.
Any photo's would be good as well.
Cheers.
There are not many pics of an original MK2 S engine bay getting around. Modern Motor June 1970 did a road test on a MK2 S rego AMP324. I only have an engine bay pic taken from the Ebay sale of the magazine and it is very blurry. However it shows the top radiator bracket in the engine colour.

I was also looking for some original pics but have not had any replies to my post from earlier this year.
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=96730&p=1030533#p1030533If you look at the other engine bays for the MK1 S, Mini K and Clubman GT you will see they all have the top radiator bracket painted the engine colour.

I have looked through my photos of unrestored, low km or one owner cars and many of the top radiator brackets are black. All of the fan pulleys are black.
