Title: Hole plugs???
Post by: emuswa on May 07, 2017, 12:24:37 PM
So i have a 1980 mini HL that i am restoring and i keep finding holes some have "plugs" in them and others do not. I figure these are important due to water getting in and out but I can't find anywhere that I can get these. Its a little nice for me dues to the fact I am In the Uk but i can also order from the USA for instate postage cost! Any help is appreciated!

Where are these holes? Floorboards? Bulkhead? Give us something to work with and we'll be happy to help......

The best source I've found for parts in the UK is still MiniSpares, they have pages of rubber plugs online.

Also, Somerford Mini has a great online parts diagram, where you can look up the parts by location on the car, worth bookmarking.
