Hope someone can help! Thanks in advance!

Without going out in the rain to get a pic I canny help there but it's attatched via 2 metal brackets that go under your rocker cover bolts. These hand forward of the rocker cover bending down slightly and are roughly 6 inches long. Then the cover goes ontop them and hangs down infront of the dizzy and down to the subframe. If you ain't got more help by the time I get up later (much later) I'll go get a pic and some specs. Oh and it's some plastic that's flexable to a certain degree. Can't tell you what it is though as I didn't pay attention in workshops many years ago

one form the riv run.

That one looks sweet. I guess i could find some acrylic sheet. Just the measurements thats the problem i guess.

Very quickly done but hope this gives you some idea

Milk carton does a fine job, doesn't restrict as much air flow to the engine

Excuse the tool on top. This is just to keep it flat for the pic. Not a mod needed if you don't want too

Could you have used a harder to read colour for the dimensions?

That clear one is superb, I'd thought of painting mine with vinyl paint - didn't think of making it see-thru' another new project, except might make it slightly tinted... hmmm... or mirrored!

Why do you need dimensions buddy?.... why don't you open the bonnet of you mini and look!

Just take some card with you and make a template then transfer it onto perspex/acrylic or whatever you choose. Quick, Easy. As long as it covers all the right parts, no problems!

I have to admit the Marigold is by far the best Rainguard I've used, even trialed it agaist the proper job as above... Marigold wins!
