    Trev
    Not drums, I converted front brakes to disc and used a 3/4" m/c from the 1098 cars (instead of original 7/8") which is intended for disc brakes.

    Mini spares even have some items in more than one grade !
    They have track rod end gaitors in rubber and poly !

    So they must have had issues.

    What Spridget NOS do Woolies stock Flip?

    "Trump 'backed out of nuking Iran because only a tactical nuclear weapon would destroy Fordow bunker' "


    " -- Officials were said to have been told that the U.S. would have to soften the ground with conventional bombs before dropping a tactical nuclear weapon from a B2 Bomber to completely destroy the site, believed to be some 90 metres underground. --"

    THAT'S what happens wh...

    https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk Excellent! they do even have NOS.

  • T Mason20 June 2025

    Bill, I too have a TRW, like you bought without knowing the issue. The first one I had leaked straight away, the supplier claiming they had had no issues with them. They replaced it and it was ok although I did have trouble with the brakes binding which I only resolved when Alan pointed me in the direction of the MGA forum and I discovered many there had the same problem. I assume you still have d...

    I agree that modern car parts seem to last for many years, but for our cars they don’t.

    A few years ago I asked a manager at Moss why rubber components never appeared to last long, he said it was due to legislation requiring the removal of substances that were considered harmful, and this affected the quality.

    But that doesn’t explain why modern cars don’t have this problem.

  • Philip Sellen20 June 2025

    I’d like to add my support for Alan’s roller release bearings, I’m not expecting to find anything wrong with it when I open up the gearbox.

    I mentioned earlier that when I swapped to his bearing, the change was seamless. As Alan stated, it was literally fit and forget.

  • GuyW20 June 2025

    Much as before then. This issue of poor rubber on multiple components has been going on for at least 10 years. The thing is though, that door seals and the like on modern cars don't crumble away at 3 months old, so the decent material, whatever it is, is available. It needs the intermediary suppliers like Moss, MGOC, AHSpares etc to specify with their supply chain what they buy in. But I suspect...

  • anamnesis20 June 2025

    I guess it's inevitable. We're getting to the point that it will soon be easier to get parts for a 15th century printing press, than for a 60s/70s car or bike.

    The only people making the parts we need, are simply exploiting the diminishing demand. Seems to me they have no real interest other than the profit. It's not the suppliers fault per se, they too are at the maker's mercy.
