I'm about to bung Cody's nice shiny new MiniSpares Bling crosspin diff into his S box.
Anybody know WHY the diff pins are not at 90* to each other? Looks strange- they intersect at 80* or so....

This one looks different from the one Cody/Kev has. The centre bit is more of a rectangle than a square. It definately looks odd as it's definately 10-15 degrees off square

Used to be called the 'MiniTorque Diff' before Minisport bought it. I had one of these when they first came out, lasted about 3 Months when I finally got round to fitting it. Went the same way as my standard diff had ! One of the pins came out, wiping out my Mk3 S/1275GT box. I had got it from Mini-it's and they where fantastic about it, got the manufacturers to replace it even though I had had it about a little over a year old. The Mk2 version which is the one Minisport sell now has a cap headed bolt to stop the pins coming out. But I decided after looking at the Minispares diff to use theres instead. Much better design in my opinion, probably because it was designed by 'Neil Booth a gearbox specialist' and also proprietor of Minispares North in the UK. |

Thanx for that, I've also heard that the MiniSport UK one is a POS  and the MiniSpares is the one to get.

Having now fitted it all up, I'm impressed with the workmanship in this Mini Spares one. Very nicely made, worth it I reckon if you need one for a Hi-Po motor, turbo etc. 
Note those thrust washers they show should have been staked into the slots provided..
