Hi,

Got the rear subframe out yesterday. When I bought the mini as an MOT failure, one of the reasons for the failure was rear mount corrosion. Having a look at the rear mount from below, I can see what looks like 2 plates (see pic)Attached File  image.jpg   63.84K   25 downloads

Are these previous repairs? I plan on buying the rear valance closing panel with subframe mount repair section. My questions are:

1) Are these two plates previous repairs?
2) Should I remove 1 plate (corroded part) or both?

Cheers,

Chris

They are part of the closing panel and are original.

 

They should be retained for strength so make sure you replace them.

 

I believe the heritage closing panels are the only ones to come with these plates. I have used m-machine ones in the past and had to make up the extra plate.

 

Cheers
