Hi all,

Just looking at getting a clutch kit for my mini (1978 clubman 998), and was wondering if i could get a 2nd opinion on this one to see if it is going to be the right one?

Please reply with any ideas you have
Thanks Brad

I wouldn't rush into it, it's got 5 hours to go, hopefully someone who knows will chime in.

It looks a bit dodgy to me with that pic..

Your in QLD and it's in VIC..so i think you should check out Karcraft who generally are the cheapest around as they import most of the stuff for mini's into the country..

Did you get a quote from the seller for shipping?

no offence to this ebay seller, he/she is probably really nice, but......THEIR STUFF IS F**KING EXPENSIVE!

I can buy almost anything they are selling there for 2/3 of their price.

Call Repco and your local parts place (not Supercheap) and see what price you can get on one local, then call some of the Mini places.

That bloke on ebay is selling them all the time, so if you miss this one there will be another. But my opinion is do not buy that one on Ebay because it it too expensive and the postage will be about $40 or more!

"This is NEW in packet, unopened and in Excellent condition" - how did he take the photo

Because the one in the photo is not a mini clutch! Not even close!

Looks like he just grabbed that pic off some website..

Having used and fitted many Mini clutches, I say be wary of non-genuine ones. The diaphragms are weak, the Jap bearings are crap and the plate facings are like recycled cornflakes packets. Barney had one in when we bought it, and it shuddered like crap.
I'd buy a proper Borg & Beck clutch kit, then you know what you are getting.
For example, $107.40 at Karcraft. These are for an S, but will fit a 998/1098, no problem.
A QH one for an S (next best) is $93.50.

Thanks for your advice...

I looked at the kits on minispares and they were like 50 pounds so i thought 99 aussie dolars would have been alright. I have got some mini engine mounts from these guys... i will see how they come up... i would think it would be worth my while to do the engine mounts and clutch at the same time.. you guys agree??
