Boot lid handle on 250.
..

Hi Jeff,
Yep that is how mine is too, only have to twist it part way to allow it to clear. Richard at Nubodi did something different I am sure he will reply, as its a pain, or a security feature! Of course once my paint is on the car I don't want any scratches so might take a different view then. Andy ##############BTW where is your build thread Jeff?############ |
Hi Jeff,
I use the 20 to 2 method, it's never bothered me. Have we seen photos of your build yet? Cheers, Bob. |
I will need to check tomorrow but I think the very similar boot handle on the Triumph Herald stands away a bit more than those Mini ones ...

Try some of the Cobra replica guy's, may be the one.

This is a simple one
Obviously you made the hole where its shown on the moulding in the fibreglass. Ignore this and make it 5mm lower and fill the dip with filler. The boot handle can be turned anywhere you want and will not touch. However as you have already done this you need to make a spacer to locate the lock out from the body till it clears the bootlid. Hard rubber or have it machined out of stainless will do the trick. |
Jeff, where did you get the chrome/stainless rectangular trim part with the up and over type catch from? (It looks good).
|
Jeff - mines exactly the same although obviously the Kalifornia has a larger boot lid and different opening angle - 20 to 2 to open - you have to be very precise as well don't turn it enough and it still latches, too much and the boot clips the handle when you open it. Mini mk 1 boot handle?

That's very Kind.
Thank you. Regards, Mike |
Jeff, Richard is talking about the bear claw catching, not the handle

Good luck, Paul. :) PS No need to wait for more progress to start a build thread... Mister Towed has got one for his 250 with barely more than some wheels and seats! :icon_wink: |
