As we are talking Minispares here I think it might be a good idea if they had a separate tab for a high quality section a bit like Somerford Mini with there Valtain line, I know when you search the option comes up but a separate section would be nice.

What if £3 is the true cost and anyone charging more is price gouging?The days of you pay for what you get are long gone.My criteria is; can you get it?could you make it yourself for less?
Yes you should be able to rely on parts fitting and to blame less spendy types as the cause is quite harsh.Besides,who does not enjoy a session of therapeutic fettling?Enjoy our hobby,Steve..

Indeed, can't beat a good fettle 👍
Today I knocked up a fuel pump aperture breather from a blanking plate and stainless, barbed, 90° plumbing fitting.
That's some money saved over buying the MED variant as well as an enjoyable hour "on the tools" 👍

There’s ‘fettling’ and there’s ‘doing someone else’s job for them’, I’m happy to do one but not the other, I just return stuff if it’s ****, it’s the only way these companies will learn.
