Hi I'm just rebuilding the back end of my car and I'm looking to buy some adjustable camber/castor brackets. I've looked at both that Minispares and Minisport have for sale but I can't decide on which to buy?
Has anyone got any views or reports on using either or any other manufacturer they could recommend ?
Thanks Simon

all i can say i bought some from minisport back in the 90's

and they both CRACKED in my race mini ( circuit car )

first time out, had to take them off at the circuit and go get them welded up

i phoned them and wernt realy interested

i got a minispares set and have had them on for a year and a bit mines a road car but has a good beating,
they havent snapped

Just to corret you it's camber and toe brackets, the rear has no caster.

Both are a bit cr.ap to be honest, you'd do better to just modify the existing brackets with a file. If you want uprated brackets the KAD ones are the best I have seen, I use them on my hillclimber. Having said thet the Minisport ones look similar to the KAD ones, but I still wouldn't buy anything from them (as I haven't for 20 years, you never forget poor quality/service).

+1 KAD....The minispares brackets bent on mine.

Neil at Slark Race Engineering told me that the minispares brackets are a load of rubbish, he said the holes don't line up and they're poorly constructed, so he recommended that I get the KAD brackets instead. Can't comment any more yet as I still can't afford them

Ithink minisport and minispares use the same chinese supply line

[minisi35]

thanks all for your information

The Minispares brackets are UK made, Peter Vickers who prepped my shell demanded MS brackets as he has had poor experience with all other brackets over many many years of running miglias...

Everything was UK made once. Now more and more stuff s being supplied from China and east asia.The price to the end user never goes down just the profit margin goes up!!!

I recently bought the KAD brackets and the quality was very good, the price is steep but when you fit them you can see why.

Both my minispares brackets have been re welded. one side broke before i had even driven the car.

Look identical to the minispares design.

i just filed mine upwards, had to do a fair bit to get bit camber

some of these you buy you fit them and cant get the camber you want

as some cars seem to have a fair bit positive camber to start with
