Hi,
Does anybody have a photo of where & how the Washer Bottle is located at the front of radiator on the Clubman GT?
Where the Clubman GT front badge locates,does it have holes on the front of the grill, or does it go through the mesh part of the grill? Does anybody have close up photos of exact location?
Do Clubman GT's have external or internal regulator with the alternator?
Thanks

Washer bottle should be between the radiator & front apron, Badge goes on the right side of the grill should have 2 holes in the outer edges of the grill bars & held in with 2 plastic condom looking thingys. From memory GT's had external regulators mount up near the fuse box, but i could be wrong.

This is my clubby, not the same motor as im rebuilding it, but as you can see, where my water bottle is situated infront of the radiator, its got self tapping screws onto the cowling of the radiator, and then the bottle is attached to that by a bracket that surrounds the bottle.

hope this helps

This pic might help. It was taken when the GT's were new.

In regard to the GT grille badge, I think it was actually located in the same fashion as the MINI grille centre badge. ie: it has lugs on the back with a very coarse thread, and these type of nuts with wide flanges screw onto the lugs to hold it. The lugs pass through the grille openings. My original GT grille badge shows this.

The later S, SS and LS had lugs with 'condoms' that fitted into holes in the grille.

Looking closer at my engine bay pic above, you can just about see the nuts with the large flange, behind the badge in 2 places.

I bet the repo badges you can buy now have studs with condoms.

Gezo, I will photograph my badge on the weekend and PM you the pics. 8)

Hi,
Over the radiator shroud is that the windscreen washer bottle hose going to the windscreen?
What regulator do they use (same as clubman) by the photo they look external.
By the photo the front badge looks as though it goes through the front mesh on the grill.
Thanks
