Sportspack Question
Hi Folks,
A quick question that someone might know the answer to,
If an ordinary MPI Mini that was on 12s was converted to a Sportspack Mini on 13s, and arches etc were cut accordingly to accommadate the 13s, would there be any other problem with the front steering? I seem to remember someone saying that the Sportspack steering rack was restricted to stop the wheels rubbing the inside of the arch. ?
Thanks
Darran.

Re: Sportspack Question
Sports packs do have restricted steering but you can buy the two nylon collars from mini spares to put in the rack,there handy to fit,even without these the wheels shouldnt fowl the inner panel

Re: Sportspack Question
The sportspack rack has built in spacers to prevent full lock were the 13" wheels will rub on the inner valance on full lock.It only really happens when parking.
