I need a wheel allignment this Saturday. Usually I go to Accurate Suspension but they aren't open Saturdays.
Any ideas?

FOUND. Finally found a place that does 10 inch wheels. Bridgestone Coopers Plains. :)

I've never had trouble taking a Mini to any wheel alignment centre.

Some may not have the specs for a Mini though so I just take a copy of the Specs page from my manual with me just in case to show what it should be set up at

A lot of wheel aligners can no longer do 10" wheels. They upgraded their systems so they can do stupid 22" wheels and bigger, and the laser align clamp thingys won't fit on a 10" (or some even a 12") rim.

Maybe :)
I'm getting around to 'fixing' a few things on Slidey as well as adding 4 piston callipers with cross drill rotors.
Back to the allignment. I rang a heap of tyre mobs and several laughed when I said 10 inch wheels. Bob Jane said they'd have a crack at it, he didn't laugh when I said 'well I'll have a crack at paying you for it.'

If they can't - try Tyres & More at Coopers Plains. I know the boss there and he got me some good A008's so I'd hope he'd be able to align them. Worth a phone call.
