The only thing with the rover frames coming to mind is if they are rubber mounted instead of metal on metal like the old. |

Rear subframes are the same, possibly with the exception of some exhaust mounts on late cars. At some point Rover changed to a larger trunnion/bush at one end of the rear subframe, but these are interchangeable. |

MPI front sub-frames had lower mounts for the radiator. |

looking at a picture i just saw, the rear subframe only has a 3 way splitter for the brakes on the later model rovers, and the earlier ones had a brake pressure regulator |

Rear subframes are the same except for exhaust hangers welded onto frames originally fitted to injected cars. A uk mk3 mini front subframe has different tower, front and rear mounts. In the 80s a bracket was added to the front bar for a lower engine mount stabiliser. In 97 the mounts were added for the front radiator. |

Im pretty sure the later rovers have a single cable for the handbrake |

Subframe is no different because of the hand brake- the tabs on it are all the same. I converted my deluxe to rover single cable handbrake it was easy and works heaps better than the original. |

Just need the rover handbrake and cables. Body mods are easy- just a single hole to drill in the top of the tunnel and make a small bracket to support back of handbrake. Easy. |
