Probably another noob question. Hopefully I'll run out of these kind of questions soon. This may be an extremely stupid question buit I was just curious can you put clubby doors onto an 850 or don't they fit?? |

The hinges and front edge of the door is the same, but the rear edge and latching mechanism is completely different. Worst of all, the B pillar is a different shape and cannot be easily modified to take the later doors. If you want a roundnose front with Clubby doors, look for a '71 Mini K. They came from the factory that way.

cheers Later roudy doors fit on sliding window door bodies without drama's , the problem is the clubman doors had burstproof latches (a whole new argument ....) with very different striker plates on the B pillar/door frame . You could theoretically cut up a clubbie to get the section of the B pillar required but it'd be much easier to fit the wind up roundie doors , plus you won't have every mini "expert" telling you your cars wrong and it shouldn't have those doors ..... |

I put sliding doors on my Deluxe, Looks good, But what a pain in the arse. My 850 had wind-ups. But the clubbie doors are totaly differant (more safe) but differant as stated. |
