Specialist components sell forged A+ rods... guess where they get them from ;)
Saw a post where someone had a set and they didn't fit down the bore...maybe you can only use them in a 1380!

That’s right, in a small bore you have to build them ‘old Miglia’ style, rods in from the bottom, pistons in from the top. They fit fine in a +60 big bore, not sure about std and +20 etc.

Steve, you say you have these connecting rods on two Minis. How many miles have you done? Are these Minis that you use on a quiet Sunday or do you really squeeze the engine?
