Not wishing to 'out' anyone, but is 't3gav' the PA / public oracle of a certain bearded Guru long since believed to be extinct?

Come back, beardy one, all is not lost!

No, it isn't.

I know who t3gav is, but it's up to him to introduce himself if he wants.

The reason Rich / Guru left the forum was that people conflated him as an individual & him as the guy who worked at Minispares.

We all miss Rich on here for sure but some of us are privileged to receive his wit and humour via PM's

Back on topic, it would'n take a lot to drill out a nut and glue it on top for the "look".

Great to see from MS. Were these fitted to all single leading show brakes ?

Which seal do you mean Rolseyboy ?

Which seal do you mean Rolseyboy ?

I think it was this Minispares upgraded seal linked in my previous post below.

Also upgraded are radius arm/upper arm seals, imported from Japan these should be much more durable and price remains the same.

That's what I was thinking might be possible to do for our '59 Mini restoration.....maybe a new product line for the CatMint Shop?

Bodysides now available https://minispares.com/search/classic/24a236.aspx

These new Minispares Body sides look absolutely amazing!

Was speaking to Rich about them last night.

And about 1/3rd the price of any others currently available

Yes they look good . Haven’t fitted one yet but I am bound to soon . Just a note it’s all well and good having a whole side like this pre gapped for the door .AS long as the door skin fits the width of the door hole . To get a nice door gap and allowing for 2 pack primer and paint build up I am normally heading for a 93 cm gap horizontal to top a bottom door hinges . Common sense would say that they have fitted a heritage door skin in the gap , let’s hope so .. The price with a bit of discount is certainly better … Shirley

Yes 93cm is the correct number for the BMC side panels, early original doors fit this gap...later van doors are a tight fit for some reason

Here it is straight from the horse's mouth

So you can use Silicone fluid in these? Thought MS warranty was void if you use dot 5

[mk1]

Isn't DOT5.1 non silicone fluid?

[Exminiman]

Yes, Dot 5 is Silicon
