The Mini Spares team are the experts when it comes to sourcing hard-to-find parts for the classic Mini. However, if they can’t source a part that’s up to their high standards they will not compromise on quality and so will opt to make their own version.
A case in point is the latest Mini Spares Engine Front Plate for A Plus engines that use a timing chain tensioner.
The main bearing cap screw holes are countersunk to allow flat faced screws to be used in place of bolts, thus providing the extra clearance required when using a a duplex chain.
(Screws are available as AEA687 or CMZ407)
The plate can be ordered as part number 12G2626 and retails at £29.70 including VAT.
