Do any of you have this part on your Coopers???  It is shown as part number 15 on realoem.com

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=MF33&mospid=50030&btnr=51_6480&hg=51&fg=80

Mine does not seem to have it and when viewing realoem.com #15 is not listed, although it is shown.

I noticed I am missing 2 of the 3 little rubber pads(rectangular) that seem to be spacers/bumper pads that go between the fixed spare wheel carrier and the spare wheel.




I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

I don't have a spare, but 15 looks like the bracket that keeps the spare on it's carrier. The rubber pads are most likely anti-rub pads or something?

Yes, the rubber pads are just that but number 15 is not there!??

I just made some rubber spacers/pads to replace what was missing and the rattle is not there now.  I will test drive it later today.  Part 15 is a mystery...
