The mini I am in the process of purchasing has a damaged hand brake mount, seems to have ripped from the floor.

I think this must be fairly common as another one of my mates has done the same.

I was wondering if there was a repair panel for this or another way to fix this.

I had a look on the mini spares website and could not find anything.

Thanks

Chances are it's the floor that's ripped rather than bracket. It would be easy enough to make up a new bracket and weld or bolt it on. Mine's done with 4 simple L shaped alloy plates as resin don't weld too well :thumbsup:

Excellent - Just need to learn how to weld and pick up the car.
