Hi to all the mini forum

I'm look to buy a full set of the old ripspeed Hi-Lo. If there is anyone out there with some I will pay good money for them.

Thank you

Whereabouts are you? I've got one pair (had them in my hand today) and I'm fairly certain I've got another couple of sets lurking around somewhere.

OK - so not local which makes things more difficult.

I'm not going to Gaydon but there mightbe someone in one of my local clubs who is - I'll enquire.

I don't have a key for them.

How does £15 for the pair sound? plus whatever it takes to get them to you. If you're not in a rush we can maybe shout for people heading in the right direction on other business and organise a TMF relay.

Iain do you think you can put some photo of the Hi-Lo on here so I know they are the right ones?

If they are right we might be doing business ok

Will try to remember to grab some photies tonight (and dig for the other pairs I think I have) - they have Ripspeed cast in the side of them so I think there's a good chance they are the ones you're after.

Out of curiosity how are these different from the genuine ones mini spares sell?

[ibrooks]

Do the Minispares ones still have the facility to adjust with a hex bar down the hole between the tower bolts?

If so then apart from the fact that mine are original Ripspeed ones not a lot.

I forgot to get pictures of them last night wen I was at my parents but I've phoned my dad and asked him to go out to the workshop and get a piccy and email it to me so will hopefully post some pics of the ones we are actually discussing in a short while.

Iain that will be good if you can put some pic on. Have you found the other pair of hi-lo?
So you what £15 apair or £15 front and £15 for the back?

[ibrooks]

I haven't had time to dig through the box that I'm fairly sure the other two pairs are in yet (didn't get out there at all last night to even take these) and I'm going to be here at work till 10-ish tonight so again no digging through boxes of oily Mini bits. Probably best to assume these are the only ones I've got and keep looking for a second set elsewhere and if I do happen to find another set then I'll get back to you (and the other guy who has been asking after a set if I really do have two more sets).

As for the adjusting tool - after Minispares was mentioned I had a look on there and they have a length of hex bar listed for the job for £2.40 so assuming the size of the hex is the same on these and theirs you're sorted.

Iain

[Deanorch1978]

They are the ones :0) have you got the bars for the back ones?
So how much do you what for the full set?

[Deanorch1978]

Hi Iain sorry I have not phone you about the hi-lo I will give you a phone Friday to sort something out about them ok



Dean

[ibrooks]

No probs - fairly sure I've found the other two sets I thought I had on a pair of twin bolt subframes. It's a bit dificult to tell if they are exactly the same whilst squinting past the subframe and suspension arms but I'll pull them out and check. I've asked at the local club and it shouldn't be a problem getting them to Gaydon.
