Can someone please supply me with an image of the floorpan from a Mini with remote change gearbox.

IE: Mini Deluxe, Mini K, or early Clubman.

In particluar, the floor profile where the opening for the gearstick is.

A friends Clubman has a bent floor around the gearstick and they want me to bend it back to the right profile. :lol:

Slight hijack - mine looks just like that and I want to fill it in as I'm going back to Magic Wand. I know welding a patch in place would be best but I don't have a MIG or TIG. Would a patch secured with pop rivets be acceptable ?

It won't be any less strong than a hole in the floor , just seal around it with a quality automotive sealant as well as rivetting it in case of any exhaust leaks .

Andrew, thank you.

This one....

....is a lot like the car I have to repair. Cracks in the metal and bent edges.

Any idea how this happens?

AND....will a rubber boot retaining ring from a rod change be the same profile shape as the remote change?

NFI on the ring :roll:
