So whilst i had the head off, i decided to sort out those two missing bolts from the lower engine mount bracket.

Well guess what, they were not missing, they had snapped off, this is discovered when i tried to fit the new ones.

The only thing i can think that would have caused this was the 3km per day of dirt roads that used to be traveled daily when my big son, Brandon used the Mini for 6 month.




So out came the radiator and the offending bracket, which was fun getting out, as it was still sort of attached at the one end.

Little clean up, new bolts and it all went back together.

Took some time away from the cylinder head replacement process though LOL
