Has anyone fitted one of these to an Australian built mini. If so was it easy to do or a pain in the arse.

These clash with the bonnet hinges on Morris minis. The rear most bracket (top of your photo) bolts through the firewall in the groove where the bonnet hinge mount brackets live in a morris. On Rovers, the bonnet hinges were spaced further apart. So, on a Morris, they are a pain in the butt.

Connection to pedal box is easy and brake piping is simple too. A vacuum take-off from your manifold is needed.

I can't give you any info on Clubbies, sorry.

should be right on a clubbie then, cos the hinges are in the same place as on a rover.... doesn't help a 68 deluxe tho...

I'm thinking the top bracket on the booster could be modified to make to fit without fouling on anything.

It can, they do retro-fit quite easily.
All is needed is a "slot" for the bonnet hinge to drop down into when the bonnet is closed.
I know that you stole that pic from Brickworx's ebay, cos i took the photo.
If you bought one, i'm sure you could request one that has already been converted for a Morris. (for a small extra fee :P )
