I find Minispares Uk cheaper than Minisport for parts. Both are fairly reasonable compared to NZ Retailers, however understand they have overheads and margins they need to cover. 

If you're importing more parts at any stage let me know. Always keen to collaborate and keep shipping prices down a bit.

Thanks.

In my case, it was cheaper from minisport UK vs minispares UK because they had the gaz shocks and adjusta-ride as a kit.

Do you recall if the roll pin holes in the shaft for the top lever and the lower fork line up, or are they at a different angle?

I know it might be a bit late but here's a photo of the pin alignment, as suspected they are pretty much inline.

I fitted the heavy duty 0.75" master cylinder, the clutch works better but is very sensitive, so too much travel at the slave I think. I'm going to try the standard 0.7" master I think.

Nice! Thanks for that. I've been busy with the front panel and getting the underside prepped for epoxy primer.

I was looking at your subframe work, I reckon it'd be a close thing but you might get the frame in. When I did mine the rail on the sump end goes in between the sump and the gearbox and shares space with the exhaust, means that its not much lower than standard. Trouble is the rail uses the space where standard micra extractors go so the exhaust needs to be custom.
