You will never see an Aussie Clubbie with sliders.

Differnt door latch and striker. They will NEVER fit.

The door catch/strike plate is totally different, if you are realy keen you proably could graft some sliding window rails on th the clubby door lot of work and proably not woeth the effort but it would look cool

ah, ok, so is there a difference between mini K and clubman doors? i was under the impression that ALL australian doors were interchangable, there a bit rare here.
and i cant be bothered with the 1/4 windows

Jed , our shells remained the basic dimensions of the Mk1 mini (windows , door openings etc) but the finer details were different , the door jamb area of the B pillar is slightly different shape in a post 71 mini (since I keep being told I can't call them clubmans to morris 1100) and the door jamb itself is completely different .

_________________

The last however many (numbers are vague) of the mini K's had the clubman doors with clubman B pillars/burstproof locks , prior to that they had the normal windup windowed roundie doors and matching B pillars . Aussie windup roundie and sliding window doors are interchangable though slightly different but not clubman to roundie (other than late K) .... Hope that helps .

so thats the "lift up" handles thing is it?

Thats cool thanks for the help all!

The door frame on the sliding window doors is thicker (I think) to accomodate the two windows.

Other than that it would be relatively easy to put a channel in the clubman door to put sliders in.

Mafs waz not my strong subgeckt at skkol

the other reason was i was hoping to offset the cost of the car by selling the doors aussie doors are fairly rare here, especialy rust free ones, much harder to get than 850 doors

How much for some good 850 doors there?
I had two people wanting $200each for good ones

i paid $10 for a pair of average ones but im not sure of the price of good ones, i just have 3 sets and 2 cars...
aussie doors would be $200 - $250 each i would imagine in the condition these are in.

I've been considering finiding myself a damged front 850, with sliding windows, and welding a Clubman front on to fit a 4EFTE easier. Now that would be cool. Keep it all MK1 south of the firewall,

It'll never happen, but It's always a future project idea, along with a hundred others......

In 1971, what did they call the doors with lift up handles ?

Portals to enter the vehicle ?

Are you referring to burstproof latches or something else ?

They called them 'Clubmans', and they were made by 'Morris'.

Am I right?
