Looking for Rear Camber / Toe Brackets

I finally decided to put the adjustable rear camber / toe brackets on my classic. In addition, I picked up some adjustable lower control arms to compliment my adjustable tie rods. Here is the issue, minimania has raised the price of the fully adjustable brackets to $130.00. Does anyone know of a person/place here in the States that has the brackets (fully adjustable) for under $100.00?? If not, I am just going to order them from overseeas and pay the extra shipping. Thanks for any help

Don't know if he can help but may be worth an email.

and shipping from the UK is not outrageous.

Dave from gbcars is great, but he doesn't stock the fully adjustable. Shipping from the UK is about $50. For multiple items that is not bad, but for one that is a little much. I just found out that mini seven has them in stock for $95. Thanks

I do have a set of old stock brackets. I have seen articles about making your own adjustable ones. Have you thought of that? Agreed $50 shipping for the brackets alone may be a bit much but you didn't say how much the brackets were. I have been rebuilding an s trans, I ordered my parts from mini spares. Even though I was forced to pay for 2nd day air UPS I still saved 30% over ordering from minimania or seven.

If I was going to order more, then I would get them from minispares or p&l, but with just one it comes out to about $100 bucks shipping. However, the more you order the more you are going to save in the long run.

I don't have the skills or time to make my own. I would rather save my time and buy some already made and easy to put on.

Thanks for the advice

You could also contact the seller John he does have a company selling some mini cooper parts. I have delt with him a few times in the past and was well treated.
