My mini had an frontend bump years ago and is not quite square. I will eventually put it straight. Moss have a Mk1 shell on display at the moment. Anyone got some suggestions on points to measure so I can compare with my Mk3 shell?

your Haynes manual has the measurements. to allow you to check that it is square. and there is no saying that the one on displace will be there for long or is correct.

Problem I can see is that the main location for the front end is the crossmember and its location onto front subframe, if front end is out of square then either the crossmember has moved or the subframe is bent,
When fitting a new front end the fitting of the subframe is all that's needed to keep everything square.
