Read moreThe badge is pre-shaped to allow easy and permanent fitting to boot lids.
This badge fixes to the body by the double sided tape attached to each letter and the area where they are to be fixed MUST be cleansed of all polish, wax or road grime by using T Cut or any suitable chemical. Peel off the outer protective tape coating and then firmly place in desired position. You can then polish around the badge to retain the ideal sheen. Failure to clean the fitting area first will result in poor adhesion.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The use of very stiff or hard tie rod bushes on both side of the subframe bracket is most definitely NOT recommended.
Use the hard poly bush (often marked Minispares) on the outside only and the soft rubber bush on the inner side. This is to prevent the tie rod end shearing off through over-stressing when tightening up the retaining nut to achieve the required seating of the retaining washer against the step on the tie...

Remove existing bump stop rubber completely.
The smaller hole of the new Bump rubber should be fitted over the retainer on the bracket, using hand soap or brake fluid on the rubber if necessary to ease the fitting. It is advisable to put the metal bracket in a vice so you...
Read moreCombined with the C-AEG644 offset rocker bush set, a further 0.030” valve lift may be attained.
It is not advisable to use just the posts on their own, as the rocker pad may fall off the valve stem at full lift. This will almost certainly occur with the latest sintered type rockers. These rockers are identifiable by their very angular shape and •'5f”AF lock nut.

C-AEA538 kit contains pulleys for the crankshaft, water pump and dynamo or alternator.
The dynamo/alternator pulley has a 15mm hole size and will not fit later cars from 1985 on which have a 22mm size alternator shaft unless enlarged by an engineering company. The pulleys should be checked for alignment when fitting as some water pumps may require spacers. The fanbelt included is also available as a spare part C-AEA540

C-22A1741 steel baulk rings are direct replacement for the sintered type, which have been used for all standard production uses for the last few decades.
Under competition use the sintered type could either break through being to brittle and of limited metal integrity or simply wear out quickly. Minispares looked at the old pre 1970 steel type baulk rings used so successfully on the Monte Carlo and rally cars of that time where...

24G1201 Austin Bonnet Badge Fitting Guide
To ensure correct fitment of this badge, a packing piece needs to be fitted between the body and the badge (i.e. a small piece of sponge)

This is the original thicker bonnet seal that was glued on the bonnet scuttle panel drainage channel.
Early cars had a full width seal 38.5”whereas later cars used 36.5” leaving some of the wing drainage channel clear. Trim the ends to your requirement.

TOOL11 is a supremely simple device to use, essentially an oversized vernier calliper.
Although a billiard table like surface is not needed, it is sensible to have the car on something like level ground without any of the wheels in dips or on lumps. Set the steering straight ahead and roll the vehicle back and forth a couple of times to settle the suspension. Resting the gauge on the ground in front of the vehicle with the arms at each end elevated, set the gauge to suit vehicle track width by releasing the two clamp bolts and sliding the two halves apart/together until the desired position is achieved, positioning the measuring tips at half overall wheel/tyre height (i.e. a line drawn horizontally through the hub centre to intersect the wheel/tyre outer edges) on either the wheel rim or tyre wall then pinch...

The outer body has a flange on one end which is the bottom to sit on the bulk head where... Read more
To facilitate full experimentation in this area, the MS73 kit has been developed to allow accurate adjustment of rear wheel camber AND track. Adjustment of rear track can greatly influence the handling characteristics of the Mini. For reference, toe in gives straight-line performance/stability with more rear end grip (under-steer). Toe-out gives over-steer in corners, and less stability in a straight line - particularly under part/closed throttle conditions. Simple and effective caster/camber and tracking gauges are available from Mini Spares (Tool10 caster/camber gauge, TOOL11 tracking gauge) to facilitate DIY setting of geometry. Read more
Fitting these brackets will add approximately 1.5 degrees of negative camber to whatever the current setting is, THEY DO NOT give 1.5 degrees of camber. The factory standard settings are quoted as 0.5-2.5 degrees.
After fitment it is imperitive to get the geometry checked, particularly the tracking, The ... Read more
These calipers are intended for use on 10”wheels with 7.5”diameter solid brake discs.
The kit contains:-
2 calipers, one right and one left hand. Please ensure that they are installed correctly with the bleed screws in the vertical position (i.e. at the top)

1 set of brake pad split pins (GBK1025) BUT NO BRAKE PADS. Read more
Aftermarket bushes for suspension and subframes have been a topic of conversation for some time now. Many folk have become obsessed about fitting brightly coloured plastic (polyurethane) bushes in place of any rubber bush they can find in the belief they will improve the performance of whatever bush has been replaced. Whilst it is true that polyurethane is harder wearing - and therefore longer lasting - than rubber in many applications it is not necessarily the best material for the application every time. Polyurethane has greater abrasion resistance and is stiffer for a similar hardness, is much cheaper to produce (and therefore sells at lower cost) and can be produced in a wide variety of gaudy colours.
