Mini Spares is constantly introducing parts for classic Minis which have become hard to find from the original sources. These Mini Spares wheel bearing kits are just another example.

The front and rear bearing kits have been manufacturered by Timken, so their quality is assured. They are supplied with split pins and seals included.

Mini Spares front genuine Timken wheel bearing kit for one hub: order as part number GHK1140 at £64.81 inc. VAT

Mini Spares rear genuine Timken tapered wheel bearing kit for one hub: order as part number GHK1805 at £47.70 inc. VAT.

The rear bearing set deserves special mention as it is based on the original MPI version from 1996-on which had an extra O ring. This was introduced by Rover as a warranty upgrade on Minis with 13″ wheels for better sealing quality. The rear bearing kit also features very heavy duty tapered roller wheel bearings as fitted to all post 1985 cars and the Mini Cooper S, although this kit can be used on any classic Mini.

Many classic car owners are confused about which anti freeze they should use.

Should it be Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), or Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT)?

Should it be green, blue or pink?

Mini Spares has taken the guesswork out of choosing the right antifreeze by producing its own Mini Spares brand antifreeze which is suitable for ALL classic Minis.

It can be left in the radiator all year round as it is also a summer coolant and contains rust inhibitors to protect your Mini’s cooling system.

If you’re interested, it also conforms to ASTM D3306, ASTM D4985, SAE J1034 and BS 6580-2010. All you really need to know though is that it’s right for classic Minis and all ‘A’ Series engines and costs just £4.14 per litre – which is cheaper than most other brands on the market.

Mini Spares is constantly introducing parts for classic Minis to replace those that are no longer available. The reversing light switch for 3 and 4-synchro gearboxes (except for rod change types which Mini Spares can also cater for) is a case in point. However, it should be noted with caution that there are other ‘replacements’ on the market. Some of these even bear the same GAE131 part number but have the wrong thread and plunger sizesize; these errors can causes seizure, closure or jamming of the switch!

Using the Mini Spares part will ensure the correct functional switch and Mini Spares can help also if you are unsure or need additional items to go with the switch such as: the required 3cm spring (2A3647) and insulating fibre washer and small plug (22G351) in the gearbox. These are needed to activate the switch.

The Mini Spares GAE131 Reversing Light Switch retails at just £30.00 inc. VAT So, there is no reason to go for dubious alternatives.
