MINI MK1 COOPER S GAUGE MOUNT BACKING PLATE [14A9904]

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Metal gauge mount backing plate to suit Mk1 Mini Cooper S dash surround applications.

This backing plate supports the gauges behind the Mk1 Cooper S dash fascia and provides the mounting points for the fascia surround screws. It is an important part when restoring or refitting the correct Cooper S centre dash layout, especially if the original backing plate is missing, damaged, rusty or has been modified over the years.

A proper backing plate helps keep the gauges secure and gives the dash surround a firm, factory-style mounting point.

WHY REPLACE YOUR BACKING PLATE?

The dash backing plate is often overlooked, but it is essential for correctly mounting the Cooper S gauge surround.

If the backing plate is missing, bent, rusty or damaged, the gauges and fascia may not sit securely or align properly. Replacing it helps restore the correct dash structure and gives the interior a neater, more original finish.

IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE

You may also need the angle brackets [24A0053] when fitting this backing plate to the original single plastic surround.

Please check your existing dash parts before ordering to ensure you have all required mounting components
