Anyone have any opinion as to whether these:

are to suit an Australian or English Cooper S?
They don't look quite 'sharp' enough to be the Australian type?

Whoops, I see that I've kind of doubled up on another thread:

Question still stands, though.

I think that they would hold the air cleaner on. Nothing else matters. 8)

True, I guess I could just put a 998 in it then as well. . .in fact, maybe I'll sell the S off on ebay and put S badges on the Deluxe and just tell everyone it's an S!!
Save myself a heap of cash then. . . :D

PS Are you sure you don't know whether the nuts are Aussie or English?

They look like the nuts on my Mk1. (So they are probably wrong!)

Just remember that not every Mk2 came with nuts anyway. :wink:

And if a Mk2 didn't have nuts on the ar cleaner box, what did it have?

They are different, why, I don't know...maybe a local supplier??

The UK type are very very easy to get, and are laughable considering this set on eBay may go for around 70 to 80 bucks if the last two sets that have gone up are anything to go by. The seller isn't being totally truthful.

Excellent, thanks Mick - as I suspected, I need the 'pointy' type.
The search begins. . .
