driver/passenger side shelf

[olerud400]

I'm sure these questions are answered because I saw the answers a couple months ago but I searched and couldn't find them again so here goes.

What are the part numbers for the drivers side shelf and passenger side shelf for LHD minis? I have to see if my dealer will order the passenger side shelf...as of friday they said they are no longer ordering the driver side shelf because of "safety" concerns.

What are the dimensions of the passenger side shelf flat space? As I have posted elsewhere in this forum I am thinking about hooking up a CD changer in the glove box (area) and figure I might have to replace the glove box with the shelf unit to make it all fit.

Any advice/slaps for being stupid are appreciated.

If your dealer said they can't order the drivers side, I'd start calling the others around you, I've never heard of this before.

much obliged! I'll have to call..uh...Princeton Mini :-( They were the ones who said any car I got had to come with a super expensive aero kit and wheels...many moons ago...

Don't call ...uh...Princeton MINI. Call Classic MINI in Ohio. You'll save $20-$30.

Are these parts for the driver's side or passenger's side shelf?

[Smokey 4]

those would be Drivers Side (LHD)

Does anyone know if the passenger side shelf is available as a factory option or retrofit in the U.S.?

Passenger side Shelf (rt side)

I installed the driver's side shelf a while back. While my MCS was having it's first service yesterday, I talked with the parts manager. He found the passenger side shelf used in Germany on his mirofiche. I ordered the parts, it came to about $100.
I plan on putting an elastic net in front of it to prevent things from sliding about.
I have found that there is more leg room on the driver's side with the shelf, as opposed to the bolster. I expect the same to be true on the passenger's side.

Wouldn't the passenger side shelf replace the glove compartment though? That's a big trade-off...

I've had it in for a couple of months now and LOVE it!

Not a good place for round water bottles, but tissue box, clutch purse, or snacks works great. For me the glove box often wound up as a trash receptacle.
