This is not good. I found this in the box of my bits from minispares. I ordered the correct ammount for my build - and the invoice says the corect amount.

Natuarally, the Engine and box all built up.

I KNOW it's not the layshaft one, so can only be the 1st motion bearing. I can't believe I'd miss this out - but must've done, as I've got this one left over?

Oh well... At least I hadn't fitted it yet...

Quite right, it's nothing like the nose bearing.

I'm sure you probably put a spare that you had in Dave. Sadly only one way to find out. Well 2 ways, but the other involves driving around to see if it falls apart.

In my opinion it is more likely that the joke that is mini spares screwed up the order and put an extra one in.... They really are frigging useless

(i'm annoyed after another order this week has turned up incorrect, that is 5 out of my last 6 being wrong)

Buggeration, what a bastard.

But at least you noticed in time before using the engine and box and possibly wrecking something in the process.

Dave i had the same thing thing on a gearbox kit i had from minispares. Same bearing and there was no way it was going in the box, in the end i figured minispares must have given me a spare !! lol

Right.

Just stripped the C**ting transmission off the engine. Why you ask? Because you can't pull the 1st motion shaft past the laygear. Grrrrrr.

And here is what i find:




Laygear needle bearing present and correct.







1st motion (mainshaft spigot) bearing present and correct.



And here is my minispares order sheet:



Showing TWO bearings.







I am pissed off. If i'd have screwed up, I'd have been relieved. Right now, I'm just pissed off.

thats minispares for you.

They sent me FIVE sill trims when i asked for two, and only four showed on the invoice. I sent them ALL back and the credited me with the cost for the five.

Incidently i tried to order a bearing kit but they are sold out, ended up getting it from the other useless bunch of twats MiniSport

Well, I've spent the last 2.5hrs mowing the lawn - I'll do the other half tomorrow.

Just had a shower (yep - I'm sat here wrapped in a towel), and now i feel totally refreshed.

Back in the garage then!

I ordered everything for my gearbox rebuild that turbo hogster might be doing for me from DSN classics. The guy said "oh, we're waithing for some gasket sets at the mo and will send the rest when we get them in" That was two weeks ago!

Anyone else had probs with DSN classics?

IMO mini speed and spares are the best (although speed dont have the variety of bits they live near and are prompt delivering) mini spares have everything under the sun but take so bloody long to send the stuff!

The best servive ive had was MED last week, ordered pistons at 10.30, got email saying theyve been dispatched standard delivery at 11.00. I got them the next morning at half 9 haha! Amazing service and their site is awsome, friendly on the phone too.*happy*

I can't complain with the speed of the minispares order.
Everything I asked for was present and correct - and they're still giving my the discount that i've worked up over the past 10 years of doing business with them.

This was a silly thing that shouldn't of happened. I was 99.99% confident that I HADN'T omitted any bearing, but that 0.01% would have niggled and concerned me for a long time.

I'm just so glad I had one spare engine-build gasket set left that I could rob some gaskets out of...
