Hello all,
my understanding is that Mini ones have not enough stroke for a Minor, are there no makers stampings\part number on the damper?

hi
yes that is what i thought, but my conversion from esm uses the mini ones and they seem to work fine.
have not got the make, the box is at work, but they are made in japan.
and are a well known brand.

The rear kits definatly use mini front shockers as mine has standard Gabriel ones fitted using the method shown in the technical tips manual, but I am not sure about the front kits they may use either front or rears could be worth giving one of the specialists a call.
