I purchased a set of their R Monoblock brakes along with alloy uprights.

The website says that these brakes will fit under 10 inch rims. They won’t fit under Mambas, Cheviot or Rosepetals. Now I have to find some 10s that will.

The spline in the hub do not fit the cv joints without hours of work.

The alloy uprights do not have a place for the supplied balljoint lock tab to attach to.

The alloy uprights have a ridge on the rear not allowing bearing to be fitted without the hub being modified.

thanks to Ken Nelson at MiniAutomotive for his help.

I don't think I have a part from them that I haven't had to replace in a short time.

Too many minis

The crown wheel and pinion I bought years ago arrived with the pinion picked from the wrong box.
They didn't doubt me, but would not send the right one until the wrong one had arrived back with them ("It's company policy you know".)
Having to pay a couple of unexpected freight bills must have eaten into their profits on that sale.

A friend in MCC of NSW bought a Minisport UK 3.2:1 cw&p for a new rebuild.
When run in and he nailed the throttle it stripped all the teeth off the pinion. It was brittle.
Replaced with a s/h minispares 3.1 set, no more problem.
I've heard of other problems with their gearsets.

So, I 've got there u beaut brakes and a set of 5 Rosepetals. Either I ditch the brakes or the rosepetals. I'm so disappointed in Minisport UK.

They pi^&$d me off with c$%p parts so long ago that I can't remember what I actually bought. Would recommend them to my worst enemy..
