Choosing the right parts supplier

[Chris59]

Hello guys,

I know it's not exactly easy to reply to this question, but please share your exeperiences : I need wheel bearings, brake pipes and braided hoses, stainless steel pistons and a set of seals to rebuilt my Metro calipers, a set of vented disc, a tandem brake master cylinder, master and slave pre-verto clutch cylinders, the list goes on….

For example, between Minispares, Minisport or another supplier, considering that price is not really the object, as I want only very good quality parts (I'm fed of poor repros !), so, what could be your recommendation ?

Cheers !

I always plumb for Minispares. I recently rebuilt my Mk2 with parts from them with no complaints. I bought in bulk to make the delivery charge worth while. The same as yourself I changed everything.

I order most of my stuff by minispares to. I use minisport for wheels (cheaper) and for there 4 pots brakes.
Beware that minspares has a lot of cheap versions of normal genuine products. The cheap ones are indeed cheap, but are also that bad.

Okay, thanks guys, I'll follow your advice, and go for Minispares, but will pay for the best quality available.

Cheers !

After a few bad experiences with other suppliers I've used pretty much only mini spares for the last 12+ years with no real issues.

I have parts from both Minisport and Minispares. My present waterpump is from Minisport, so much better than the crap I received from an Ebay supplier.
