Hi Folks,

 

I am new to the forum after just buying a 1990 mini city 1000 thath requires substantial work.

 

Can anyone recommend mini parts suppliers?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jay

Hello Jay, I primarily use Mini Spares they are in the UK. They are easy to deal with, usually quick to respond, shipping is always well packaged.
Have bought a lot of stuff from them. Had a couple small issues, sent 1 incorrect part (it was 1 serial number off) and 1 Hylomar tube had a hole in but they corrected it and are sending a free replacement as well as the correct part with my next order which is due soon. Everything else has been great so far. I live in Australi and it still works out better/cheaper for me compared to any Aus supplier.

The company called Seven mini parts would be a good option if you're in the US.

Hope this helps, cheers

Hi, Jay,

It'd be well worth upgrading your membership to TMF+ (costs £5) and getting the 7.5% discount it qualifies you for on MIniSpares parts.
