Can someone tell me what the length of a Mini Clubman (1971 model) front Lap Sash belt from anchor point to anchor point?
I got rid of my old ones during a restoration.
I think it should be 2500mm but hoping someone could confirm before I get some new belts made up.
Thanks

Hi, are you making them to original pattern and where are you getting them made up? do you have all the hardware? I have some down in the shed and may be able to get the measurement but not much good without the hardware.
Cheers
Rod

No worries I'll try and get the measurements and a couple of pictures tonight. Just to be sure the belt you are after has the centre mounted buckle block not loose straps like earlier cars?

Hi,
Just checked the belt and the measurements are:
1. Top mount to adjuster plate 30cm
2. Total length of bottom section from bottom mount to adjuster 198cm
3. Fold over at ends is 7.5cm
If you pm me your email address I can send some pictures (cannot upload from my phone)
Cheers
Rod

Hey Rod, Thank you for the info and the pictures you emailed. So I based on the numbers the total length is around 2355mm which is close to what I guessed
