FAQs
Does this set include the bolts for both hinges?
Yes, the Mountney MBHP set comes complete with a pair of hinges and the required fixings for a full replacement.
Will these fit a modern BMW-era Mini?
No, these are specifically designed for the classic Mini model architecture.
Do I need special tools to install these?
You will generally only require basic hand tools such as a set of spanners and a socket set.
Are the hinges painted or chrome?
The hinges are designed for durability and are typically supplied in a finish compatible with classic restoration standards; verify your specific batch finish upon receipt.
Can I replace just one hinge?
It is highly recommended to replace both hinges simultaneously to ensure uniform wear and proper alignment of the boot lid.
Troubleshooting
Boot lid is misaligned after installation
Loosen the fixing bolts slightly and adjust the lid position before tightening the bolts in a cross pattern.
Hinge feels stiff during operation
Apply a small amount of silicone-based or lithium-based grease to the hinge pivot point to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Place the new Mountney hinges into position, securing them with the provided fixings. Compatibility is limited to standard classic Mini boot configurations; please verify your specific year and model against the `MBHP` part number. For care, keep the hinge pivot points free of road grime by cleaning periodically and applying fresh, non-corrosive grease as part of your annual vehicle service.
