I am a bit lost??? Is this the correct under bonnet insulation for a Mk 1 Cooper S? If it is correct, I don't understand how it fits properly. There are no cut outs for the bonnet hinges, so I can't see how it goes in? |

If you turn it up the other way, the rectangular cutout is for the master cylinders and the triangular cutout for the wiper motor. |

I suggest it is from a Clubman, which has the hinges on the outer edges. It should also have a spot for the washer bottle for a Mk1. |

Shouldn't this be called firewall insulation, not under bonnet insulation? |

A quick search will bring up several discussions on insulation, including firewall insulation. See here - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=93337 Flute wrote: Shouldn't this be called firewall insulation, not under bonnet insulation? Yes, Flute, that's the more appropriate term. Under bonnet insulation generally means the fibreglass stuff stuck under the bonnet. |

I guess that's another item you'll need to source to maintain originality.  See here - https://minikingdomonline.com.au/produc ... bman-mini/ |

Yes it’s a Clubman insulation pad and it’s firewall, not under bonnet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks for all the help everyone. I will probably just modify it to fit for now unless an original is worth anything to sell? |
