hi, yesterday i accidently sheared off one of the wheel studs on my cooper s brakes whilst putting the wheel back on. does anyone know where i can get a new stud or will i have to get a new disc?

cheers Jaffer.

minispares do them,

just whip the wheel off and knock the broken one out with a bar and hammer, slide the new one in and "pull" it in with a wheel nut. check the wheel nuts for the next few days as they can settle.

they are only cheap, its worth getting a set of 4 and doing all of them incase the others have been stressed.

cheers, ill take the old ones out tomorrow, im pretty suree i couldnt find any that looked the same on minispares, ill check tomorrow anyways.

the problem i have with minispares is that they take forever to post things! im stil waiting for my gearbox seal kit which is only 3 small seals, i ordered these on 25th of september! ah well at least i know theyll be quality products when do come.

thanks for the reply.

They don't usually, I tend to get orders from them within a couple of days. Have you got in touch with them about the delay? They are probably just out of stock, with the Mini being out of production some items are only produced in small batches so stock can take a while to arrive.

well, i bought a hs4 float lid off them a few months ago and that came in about 2 weeks, so i trust it will come, just annoying having to wait such a long time. i have other jobs on the car to keep me busy till then anyway

So - buy elsewhere! Check they have it in stock - and ask them to make sure it gets to the post that night. A supplier I use ( classic car - but not Mini) if I phone before 3pm - the Postie has the part at my door by 8am next day.
