...not bothered by customer requests and orders by phone, email or online shop?
Just asking for your experience, as I feel a bit sidestepped.

I've never dealt with them, but I found Minispares slightly cheaper for Maniflow products, and the 7.5% TMF+ discount helps too!

I agree BUT: Minispares doesn't stock the reverse cone exhaust and the latest Maniflow "even larger centre bore" manifold.

I needed to contact them last year, after lockdown. they didn't answer the phone so I left a message and David rang me back a bit later. Excellent company to deal with. Made me a LCB for my 1098 with rubber cross joints.

They're pretty old skool at Maniflow and if you need to speak to them the 'phone is always the better option...like others have said, leave a msg on the voicemail and they should be back to you.

Yeah I think they are a fairly small family run business. They were really helpful for me a made me a RCM system and posted in a week. I phoned in my order.

As above, they can take a day or so to phone back but imo they’re well worth waiting for, I last spoke to David in April and they were on a “skeleton staff” but still able to accommodate requests. Give them a chance, you won’t regret it.
