I'm looking for some sections to restore the original lights to this 61 MK 1. The picture tells the tail. The aftermarket adapter plates won't work. The holes are too big.

 

is the piece your looking for the seat to rear boot panel.....should be able to find it here

No, just a portion of the rear panel the tail lights mount to.

 

hopefully this helps......

if this is what your looking for, Contact Dion at djminis.com he is a US dealer for minisport.com

 

Seven has the regular adapters in their flier this month @ $33.50 each....but I dunno where you'l find something larger if your holes are too big....I think you'd either have to buy entire fenders and cut out what you need or what I guess I'd try first is trying to cut flat stock to fill the gap by widening the edges of the plates......welding a lip of an inch or whatever all around the adapters.

Do any of the adaptors on the market have the correct stamping radius around the light?

 

If somebody has a rotten MK 1 shell they aren't planning to restore I could sure use these sections.

 

I bet you could find someone in the UK to cut them out for you. You should join www.theminiforum.co.uk and ask around or I can do it for you if you like?

 

I've got a couple posts and an email out to a fellow that is parting out an old MK 1. So far no luck. If you can find somebody that would be great. I hate to go through all the trouble to fix this old beast and not make it right.

Hi..BMH make a brand new mk1 rear panel But DO NOT USE mk1 infils that weld in the square light holes BY the TIME you've welded it in its out of shape OH and by the way thats My rear of My mini and I used an old mk1 panel welded in looks good



If you want I can try and source an old an old panel for you............

 

If you could find the sections that would be fantastic! I dont need a complete panel. Even if they are rusted down near where they attach to the floor that would be fine. I've got metal to work with.

 

will do But I will have to send them to you as I live in Jersey Channel Islands, near France...............this is what I did to My mini.............
