ausmini :: View topic - Classic mini doors on leyland clubman?

ah fair enough! A straight forward answer... thanks
Theres something about the sliding windows + simple door mechanisms that appeals to me. Ah well! Thanks for the help

so even if the doors were the same dimension (which i dont think they are??)

doors are not the same dimentions, as Doc said the "B" pillar is different & so is the door accordingly

i did this job years & years ago & it was pretty straight forward, but obviously i didn`t bother changing over the handle & catch mech... i liked the flush look "WITH" the sliding windows

:-)

Lovely mini, but sensational kombi.....

me love you long time :-)

edit--> fy dolla :-)

ah well the colour was taken/matched from girlfriend of mine`s nail-pollish so i`m sorry but we made it from nothing to "look" like the nail-pollish she was wearing

it`s "VERY" close to a particular VW factory golf colour actually if that helps you

Hi all, Owned my clubman for about three months, just thinking about things I wish to do to it in the future. Is it possible to put complete early mini doors on a '73 clubman? By early mini I mean sliding windows, pull down levers and seemingly 'empty' door shells... Are they the same dimensions? (I think they are?) Any assistance is appreciated, coming from a mitsubishi magna enthusiast background I can understand how annoying nooby questions can be

You cant just change the doors because a leyland mini came with burst proof doors, a safety law ADR requirement so even if the doors were the same dimension (which i dont think they are??) and you changed the catch mechanisms you still wouldnt be able to. The only hope you will have is changing the actual; wondows in a clubman door (that would be a lot of work) Brenton

B pillar is different for the `burstproof' (not!) latches, would take some fabrication or additions there to fit 850 doors.
