Continuing on from my post about finally getting my rear subframe assembled for my Mini, ready for the big “fit”, this weekend saw a small amount of struggle in getting it fitted! As far as fitting rear subframes go, this went quite well.
Those horrible rear subframe mounts are a nightmare, but this time around they didn’t cause too many issues. Without going into too much detail, but if you’re attempting this job soon then literally the only method is … “poke and hope!!”
Its a near impossibility to see the bolt hole and to line the mounts up with them, so its just a case of attempting to screw the bolts into their correct positions and “hoping” its right. Just make sure you don’t cross-thread them!
Anyway, here’s some photos
You can clearly see the rear subframe with the rear valance removed, and I think it looks awesome! It also makes fitting the furthest back rear subframe mounts so much easier too!
Next up – time for removing and stripping the front subframe!
