the one i have has the mounting studs at the back anyone got any pics of that?

The mounting studs on the back of the booster attach to the easily available rear bracket you can see on the booster above. They're not really meant to directly attach to the car, it takes up too much room.

Which one to you have ? http://www.hydroboost.com.au/there_are_two_main_types_of_brak.htm

The VH44 has 2 bolts on the front and different locations for the bolts(s) on the back - The Mini sould have one single bolt in the centre. Because I bought a new one piece mounting bracket (like Micks in his 1st picture) Terry at Hyroboost swapped my offset bolt rear shell half for a centre bolt one no charge. Total of $45 with postage

can anyone give me a specific measurement or it doesnt matter at all?

Which measurements in particular? The mounting holes. Let me know and I'll get them off my shell.

yeah that would be good is that for the same bracket i have in my kit?

It will suit the rear bracket if you have either the Lockheed or the PBR VH44 booster, but I still have no idea what you have. The link you posted didn't work.
Can you detail it a little more? I'm not so keen to have you drilling the wrong holes!

sorry about that ill see if this works

You can't hotlink images direct from Minispares.
But you can copy the image to Photobucket...

thanks for that

I have no idea if the holes are the same as on the inner wing of the Oz minis, but in any case here are the rear two to measure up against the bracket you have. The two holes are as Morris said, not vertical to stick the nose of the booster up in the air to aid bleeding.



I would mark these measurements on a piece of card and use the back edge of the card to butt up agains the box section at the rear of the engine bay (seen in the second photo).

Relative to the lower edge of the box cross member at the rear of the engine bay and using the vertical edge of the box section as a vertical reference:

The lower hole is 115 mm forward of the lower edge of the box cross section and 22mm up.

The upper hole is 104mm forward and 110 mm up from the same bottom bottom edge reference.

These will give you the hole centers, then drilled to clear 5/16th thread.

Mark both, but don't drill the second hole till you have test fitted the bracket to check the centering of the marks and the clearance from other parts of the engine. These are different boosters never fitted to Australian minis!
