I'll give 'bearing man' in Shrewsbury a call tomorrow, see if they stock anything similar.

No - there will be sh*sters trying to sell them on Ebay for gold and when you actually received the part you will find they are either used, cheap copies or not even the same thing.
There must still be 1000's of mini's on the road. OK - so they don't all want one of these bearings that often but there must still be smaller bearing manufacturers who will step into the market.
Perhaps all we need is the mini spare parts suppliers to club together and put in a order for a job lot - that way nobody gets stuck with a load of stock that is slow moving and their beloved customers (i.e us lot) get to keep our mini's on the raod and keep buying more spares off them.

Update on these......
Production will go ahead again, but the manufacturing is being moved, so whilst it will definately go ahead we are unlikely to see them for a few months yet

Minis should be catered to especially since they are THE classic British car.
