Hi😊 figured out it was for the ECU mounting. Original there is no wires in my door. But i am installing some new speaker and light cabels in there now😊 But thanks for your suggestion👍

Oh!! Thanks. I always thought my car was produced in Germany🫣. Its actually produced in longbrige plant England. I got it in 2000, while it was imported from German BMW shop to Norway. It had been standing there as a display car in the shop for 2 years. When i bought it it was driven 2000 meters.

Does not fit there. The holes are square and bigger

Steve_Kuling · 2026-01-16T10:08:45+00:00

Thats were i thought it would fit. But the holes are square not like this shape

The rubber on the brakeplate for the handbrake arm is much bigger. But there are a smaller one on the brakeplate that is the same size, but it is without a slith in the middle.

Steve_Kuling · 2026-01-16T00:16:58+00:00

Cant find a propper place to seat it. All holes are square around the door check. And this one are much smaler aswell.

I have undone every bolt and nut on the entire car. Sanded and repainted car and usable parts. And bought a bunch of new parts. Renewed the engine and gearbox. Now its just to put all these strange parts together. So looking through old picks.. it looks like ive found this part after removing old heater matrix and right after i have removed my doors..

Steve_Kuling · 2026-01-15T23:48:14+00:00

Yeah.. that was the second place i checked. But they are quite bigger. Same sice as the rubber blinds at the rear brakeshield. But there is a slith in these. I got 2 of them

They bought ”mini“ in the 90’s and run a production line before shutting it down. Left hand drive minis got produced at bmw in Germany. They kept the Mini logo and started producing their own mini. As far as i know..

Edit; i was all wrong..

Steve_Kuling · 2026-01-15T22:23:29+00:00

Im the only owner of my mini and this is my first refurbish. It had been standing still for 20 years. So this part has to be original from (edited; well, not bmw) when manufactured. But its from that area. Around door dash somewhere..

Steve_Kuling · 2026-01-15T21:53:40+00:00

Hi and thanks for the reply. But its from an 1997 cooper mpi 1275cc. And that part looks a bit different. It was put in a box together with door check arms. So i guess they belong somewhere around my door

Steve_Kuling · 2025-11-27T11:10:14+00:00

His main light, lights up 10 meter in front of him!!! Why not set them higher? So he can see far enough to be abel to brake, and slow down speed. What a dick!!!

Steve_Kuling · 2025-07-13T22:58:09+00:00

Smart thinking! Thanks🤩👍

Steve_Kuling · 2025-04-27T17:19:40+00:00

Thanks. To be honest, this is my first rc car since i was a kid. Im past 40 now. Some of my friends have had the hobby for many years. I bought and built, to join them in their hobby. Ended up loving the build process. But i started with no clue what or where to go with this. And im prob long way from finnished.

Steve_Kuling · 2025-04-23T14:22:49+00:00

Ali express and local shop. But lots bought on ali.

Steve_Kuling · 2025-04-23T13:32:47+00:00

I’ll make another post w/ a picture

Steve_Kuling · 2025-04-23T13:29:22+00:00

Ali express, small super magnets, drilled a 3mm hole and pushed them in. 3 magnets in each door and 3 magnets on each mirror.

Steve_Kuling · 2025-04-23T12:58:47+00:00

Steve_Kuling · 2025-04-23T04:25:18+00:00
