You will have to quote your membership number when placing an order. Masc Discount Offer (3) (Arranged by Kent Area rep with Manager Mr Jackson) Minispares are offering Masc members a 5% Discount on parts. You will have to quote your membership number when placing an order. www.minispares.com Masc Discount Offer (4) David Manners Group The new MASC discount at all David Manners Group companies including Abingdon MG Parts Ltd is now live.
Identify yourself as a MASC member at the start of a phone or in person enquiry. MASC membership number will be required. Any subsequent order will be given a discount of between 5% and 15%. The percentage discount varies simply because margins vary from product to product. The sales guy will be very grumpy if you give him a great long list of parts, and he prepares the paperwork and then you announce that you are a MASC member right at the end. This would mean that he would have to start again so give your membership number at the start if you want the savings! Masc Discount Offer (5) East Sussex Minor (arranged by Kent member Richard Beer) I have had confirmation from the MD here that he would be more than happy to offer a 5% discount to MASC members. To that end, we have set up a special discount code for use on our website, the code is: sprite5 (no caps, no spaces). The code is effective immediately and the usual terms listed below apply.
Terms of discount code:
Fisher Services Fisher Services, our ex website sponsor, can supply, fit, and ream, later 1275 stub axle kingpin bushes together with new kingpins. One way of ensuring that you get serviceable parts as many exchange items fall below the required standard. PBW, Birmingham. Following complaints re the poor build quality of Wishbones, both new and reconditioned, I have been in touch with PBW ( Paul Wilkins ) @ Birmingham (01636-679638). Paul has the fulcrum pin bushes made for him to recondition wishbones. He is willing to sell the bushes to anyone wishing to do their own reconditioning or he sells reconditioned, exchange, wishbones on a like for like basis at £60 each. Perhaps worth a try if you need such items?

Shock absorber overhaul kit. Malcolm Le Chevalier can supply this shock absorber overhaul kit Tel: 07742-320839 (not during office hours) Rear wheel bearing kits complete with a correct thickness gasket. Contact Malcolm Le Chevalier as above. Malcolm says: “The gasket thickness is often overlooked and a few years back there were loads of kits with gaskets that were way too thick. I have often thought (but admit I can’t prove) it is one of the reasons for people suffering half shaft failure, even in modestly powered cars. I wasn’t happy with the parts available so did some research and developed my own kit. Properly sized and spec-ed parts. EU sourced (not far east) bearings, a double lip oil seal, new retaining screw, and most importantly a range of gasket thicknesses to allow the user to select the correct gasket to eliminate the float/play in the assembly”.
