Post subject: | Hydro Pipe Covers |
Just wondering whether anyone might have a drawing/sketch of the front hydro pipe covers as found on the earlier minis? I have the rear pair (see photo), but the front pair were missing from the car when I bought it. Any help would be appreciated? |

Good luck in the hunt for the front covers, but it looks like DavidE can help you there! Just as an aside, I am pretty sure that these were galvanised & not painted to the body colour? |

I would be interested to see a photo of both of these front and rear covers on a car. My car (1968) has the long ones underneath but I don't recall seeing these front and rear covers when I stripped the car down. I better get a manual out to see where they go or are they pre my car? Cheers. |

Thanks gtogreen1969, that link is pretty useful. It looks like one of the cover holes mounts to the front sub-frame mounting bolt with a spacer of some sort. Can anyone confirm this? I bought the front pair of covers as kindly offered by DavidE. If there is any interest, when I receive them, I could measure and create a drawing. |

Just to clarify, the only "spacer" is the thickness of the 5/16 inch UNF nuts & spring washers holding the subframe to the body. The skid plates are held by internal star washers and 5/16 inch UNF nuts. |
