Hi All,

Another question for the brains trust :D

Any idea where the BMC replacement parts sticker was generally placed in the engine bay? (example in link below)

If possible, In particular a Cooper S? Any photos?

Thanks

I have seen them on the inner guard near the brake booster.
They appear to be more common on later cars and even more common after a restoration.
Here is an example from 3894.
