Has any one else been waiting ages for parts

Im waiting for Front polly stubby mounts and some bump stops (not to botherd about waiting for bump stops)

But i needs the mounts to get my engine and subframe in.

been waiting since 10/2/10

They should realy be hear by now but thing that made me abit anoiyed is they dident put on there site that the things i order were out of stock. And i dont think its changed still.

Then phone them up and chase the order instead of complaining here?

If you're waiting for some front poly teadrops, then go to a mini supplier and buy standard ones. Dont bother with them.

nah the rear ones to the back of the engine if you get me. whats up this polly tear drops?

The poly teardrops are just crap, the lower subframe to floor mountings can be used, but are tricky to fit due to their thickness.
For the tower mountings, they're good beetween subframe and bulkhead, for the top bolt i prefer the alloy solid mountings.

fair play so its just preferance, I was told not to used solids as it will strain my body work more, and could cause fracture's and things.

Never mind live and learn i supose
I just got full polly bushes and mounts for the car. Just because it was there and alot of em needed doing.

They seem abit better than rubber stuff. cant hurt to use em.

That happens when using solid subframe to floor mountings (and floors are in bad conditions).
Poly front teardrops are too woobly and the standard teardrops are more solid and give a better feeling.
About subframe tower mounts, the alloy top mountings are fantastic, much firmier, especially if the mounting hole in the bulkhead is slightly ovalized.
For the bottom one, poly is quiter.
Bear in mind that poly is more resistance than rubber but, when rubber deteriorates with time and strain, poly will fail all of a sudden..

i waited 8 months for a set of con rod bolts from mini sport in the end i gave up and got some from mini spares the bolts from mini sport have never arrived that was two years ago now

[lindy119@school]
