I'd be worried about these falling out. Are they really that hard to change?

if you use a new pin and a stepped punch they are pretty easy.....any other time you want it off/on and dont have the right tools they are a PITA. v good idea and bearing in mind its not really any different to a lynch pin in principle id have one...

Good idea, bit pricy for what it essentially is though

Just lock wire it if your worried about it, great idea I think

Would have.some slack though wouldnt it if you can press them in by hand

I've never had a problem with the roll pin.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

The thing about the roll pin is that you have to bash it out with a hammer and punch, which is fine until you are in the garage with the car on stands and no room to swing the hammer. That one bit often takes me as long as the rest of the removal steps...

great idea, about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike for me though chief

What that's crazy, you go commando hahaha! How heavy is your helmet ?

A machine screw and two nuts is about the best thing I've used when I haven't had a roll pin to hand (sometimes i accidentally knock them out, never to be found again)

Nope I don't need one

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

I can't say I've ever had a problem knocking them out with a pin punch while the car's on axle stands.

It's an interesting idea but I wouldn't bother putting them on any of my Mini's.

Same here. I've never had a problem with knocking the pin out with the car on stands.

As clever an idea as it is is it really that necessary? I mean how often does it need removing? Is it not cheaper and simpler just to use am M5 nut and bolt?!

like the idea but they want to be much cheeper imo

great innovation, i have had some bastards with old minis for the first time,

if you are engineering motor head its a must IMO makes lif easier...... work it out its only 4 packets of fags for those of you who smoke

Great idea, but if the roll pin is well greased when fitted they come out easy.

Bit like quick release engine mounts, fantastic idea, but took me longer to remove one pin than unbolting it.

What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve
MITP 2012 17.01 seconds 1/4 mile against "The Don"
MITP 2013 16.83 seconds 1/4 mile

I like the Idea of the m5 nut & bolt.

Edited by Chalkie on 12th Jan, 2014.

This is a cool idea. I personally modify my roll pins by grinding a flat along the groove,, which makes them sooo much easier to remove.

I have not used a roll pin in about 4 years, as I have taped it out to m6 and use a dome cap head then lock wire it, works for me fine.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Why don't they just offer the clips alone? As Simon from Minispares says the coupling is £20. Well 99% of us have many of them.

Surely those clips are only about £2 each

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

Probably because the fit will need to be very good to avoid a sloppy gear change, new clip on a worn sleeve may well be pants,

I have used an M5 bolt, and although it works, it fits like a turd in a top hat.... Simons solution of drilling and tapping to M6 sounds good.

Eden you tight arse! Haha

expensive for what it is. My old man said they used to run a tap in the hole and use a bolt back in his day. Saying that in his day they replaced floor panels with Castrol GTX cans and newspaper
