Anyone have some photo's of the heater from a 71 K ? the under dash plastic one with the controls on the drivers side. anyone have one ?

want to get a good look at one as i want to restore my k to original one day, that thing being one of the silly things that they crossed with the clubman.

I'm keen also for pics, as mine has the same clubby heater... although someone had taken the cables and the bracket out of my car (along with seatbelts and switches) before I aquired it!

I've got one. I'll have a go with the camera when I get home. There was a few pics of one in the Mini Experience a couple of mags ago.

I assume it's the same heater as a clubman with a wiper switch for the fan and two cables - one for heat amount/flow and one for direction. I'll get better pics of mine when I get it home in a couple of weeks...
Much better setup than the earlier mini Ks which had the blow-through type heater :-)
I'm sure it will be easy enough to replicate the bracket. I'd imagine the challenge may be finding the correct cables.

The heater is the same as clubman heater. the swich panel wasnt around for long so they are very rare & yes the cables are rare too. From memory the switch looks the same as the headlight/wiper switch but it has a much smaller rear section. It gets it power from the back of the wiper switch.

hmmm, I'll throw a wanted up but i doubt I'll have luck, the cables do look a little funny but if i can get some close ups i might be able to make it, I'll add it to the list of funny little things to make for the mini, thanks for the help so far

The braket for the controls looks like a Lucas or Smiths switch panel. They sometimes come up on Ebay UK.
