Some less expensive hardware when servicing/replacing the stereo and other dash items

Some info I hope helps you save money... and time.

Installed a replacement R53 factory Head unit old one stopped working in some functions.... new one is perfect... and Installed a factory AUX input while at it !!

DANG...The factory HK stereo in my LCI JCW R53..... sure sounds great for a stock stereo.

In doing the Radio "Pillar" replacement and doing the shelf ... found that these little clips for the screws often break... and I even looked at my 53 'parts car'... they often seem to break on removal of screw....

DANG EXPENSIVE at $6 - $10 each PLUS usually $10 or more for shipping.... gets expensive when you need 6 of them.... argh.

MINI Part Number: 07131472727 or 07.13.1.472.727




Found that Worth-USA makes a similar clip in Yellow in packs of 25.
Specs seem to match the measurements of the blue MINI/BMW units... and they are concealed so you don't see them.

Found them on eBay for the 25 pcs... $13/delivered (Worth dealers and other BMW suppliers wanted too much)
