Are crap. Mine were speedwell ones.

The bolts they supply are a completly different thread to that of the buttons, so once you've fitted the bolts into the front panel, the grill buttons won't screw on.
I got my tap and die set out and recut the thread in the buttons, but I know a lot of people don't have a set.
The instructions where useless aswell.


Avoid unless you want hassle.
Also overpriced, it's just what feel like 2 kitchen cupboard knobs and 2 bolts.



Useless.

Have you spoken to Simon about this? It's not like Mini Spares to sell bad quality stuff, if you get in touch I'm sure he'll sort something out with you.

I ordered some from Mini Spares, the plain aluminium ones, when they arrived they were speedwell branded :S. If you mean those ones, mine are absolutely fine.

These have indeed been made incorrectly by the manufacturer who makes them under licence for Speedwell. This is the only one of the grille button sets we stock, the others are not affected. Our stock is immediately going back to the supplier, and new stock got in. Once we know there is an issue (through being informed directly) we can get any issue corrected. If the OP wishes to contact me, ref this, please feel free
