Post subject:  suspension rubbers and bushes

Hi guys,
I was just wondering if, front lower control arm bushes, Subframe mounting rubbers x8, and ball joint dust covers were sold at motor traders, repco etc etc or do i have to order them in from a mini joint or Karcraft ?
Cheers

you'll find the mini places much cheaper these days, and a lot of times the only supplier - I'd go out on a limb and say that Repco don't list the ball joint dust covers or lower control arm bushes.

How's this... my dad went to repco for a lower radiator hose, first, they didn't list the one with the heater offtake, and then they slugged him $48 for the one with no heater offtake. The Karcraft catalog lists them both at $22

also, and assuming your car with it's subframe mounting rubbers is pommy internal door hinge one - you'd only get them at a mini place, and not all mini places at that - they're import only, repco wouldn't even know they exist

I got my engine stabiliser arm bushes from Thorpe at Morris Minor Australia (03 9555 1793) in Morrabbin, Vic. He might be able to help you out...

Also, can i recommend you put your location in you profile? It's really helpful for things like this so people can recommend companies local to you... :wink:

I think i may have been misunderstood, The rubbers that I am looking for are the ones that that sit inside the alloy brackets that bolt to the body of the car. They have a 12mm rod inside them that is connected to the subframe. I thought these were common on all minis ? as they all have subframes.
I am in SA guys.

I have no idea what you're talking about there.... aussie built minis do not have rubber between the subframe and the body shell - front and rear... hence the reference to the door hinges, any mini with internal door hinges will have a rubber mounted subframe

Post subject:  suspension, with photos this time

Hi again I have taken a couple of photos of the rubbers I need. the rubbers I need are the ones that sit inside the alloy bracket that gets mounted to the body. These have a hole inside them where the subframe is bolted too. This is what I mean by rear subframe mounting rubbers. I cannot for the life of me find a better way to describe it.
Thanks guys

You are talking about the REAR subframe's rubber mounts.. :lol: I think...?
Any Mini shop. You can get polyurethane ones too, but the rubber ones work fine for 30+ years.

:D

repco etc. wouldn't be able to get them... they're a specialist mini thing...

dunno why willy etc. haven't piped up in this thread, but for SA, the 3 I know of are:

Mini Sport - 1256 South Road ,Clovelly Park, South Australia, 5042 (08) 8177 1275
or
Morris Mania - 107 King William Street KENT TOWN 08-8362 0707
or
Brickworx 872 South Rd Edwardstown 5039 Phone: (08) 8297 9494

I've bought off Tony at Mini Sport a few times, he's a good guy

Link Auto in Melbourne, Karcraft in Sydney always do good prices too - I live 300+km away from any capital city, so all my mini stuff comes by post
