Hi guys, currently looking at which cross pin diff to buy. It will be going in a 1380 stage 3, sw5 cam, and eventually will have an eaton bolted on top. so I thought id better uprate the diff to take the power! So i've seen the Mini sport and Mini spares sell there own. The question is, which one is best? Also i've found that there is a big difference in price between the sport and spares a plus second gear, which is the better gear? I don't mind paying good money for good parts!  

Advice would be greatly appreciated!

cheers!

Every time I have dealt with Minisport , I have been left waiting for parts

 

so whatever your decision , phone & check if it is in stock , then double check

 

Minispares have always delivered in a few days , no problems

I'd talk to John at Guessworks for all your queries. In my experience his workmanship and parts quality is excellent. He did the rebuild on my box including a crosspin diff and I've never had a problem.

If you become a TMF+ member (costs a fiver) you'll save 7.5% with Minispares

Then MiniSport must have changed recently.

When I looked at buying mine Minispares stated they build their own therefore I can't see them supplying it to Minisport and the photographs of the Minisport one looked different so I can't see them being the same.

Sorry guys, to clarify, the Minispares one is the same as that that Guessworks is offering.
