On the front sub-frame, what is this bracket for? It's not being used on my mini k but just wondering.

OK Thanks both, makes sense...

So currently the horn in my k is hanging off the side of the engine bay. Is that wrong?

I kinda recall that if you have the horn there on the subframe it interferes with changing the oil filter, as you normally pass the filter over to that corner so you can let it down.

So it may be more sensible to have the horn elsewhere. :D

All righty then, I'll leave the horn where it is.

Thanks every one.
