Welcome! If you are not an MMOC member may I suggest you join? The Bi-monthly magazine (Minor Matters) lists all parts suppliers, Club branches, together with activites for members throughout the country.

You can do this online - details top left of page.

Many suppliers..... Bull Motif/ MOSS Europe/East Sussex Minors and generally a search on ebay for the part you need will turn up many 'bargains'.... But your local 'Autoparts' place will often be able to provide general service spares, and if you go in wearing boiler suit + grubby hands - you may even get 'Trade' discount! Always worth asking.... And no carriage to pay. I avoid Hellfrauds.......... :roll:

I've been using GS Jones - They're quite good, sensible prices displayed, although postage is a set £10.74.

Good enough customer service though.

When you get your welcome pack, you'll find a copy of Minor Matters with details of this year's big event - the National Rally 28/29 June at Kelmarsh Hall. There should be plenty of traders, spare parts, technical advice, and hundreds of other Minors. Well worth coming if you can.
