As described and very fast delivery
Crankshaft thrust washers for 850 Mini engine A series. What nobody tells you is that the standard washers are 0.092" thick which you need to know when calculating the need for oversize versions. Also a pair of say +0.003 are that extra thickness in total.

Unbelievable value
I looked at tacos with a shift light on UK motorsport sites for £200 - £300 then saw this for £15. It’s an unbranded Chinese knock-off but actually does the job.
I wired it up on my classic Mini replacing a smaller TIM brand taco without shift light. The wiring colours were the same!
The mounting was easy, it has a clear face that lights up well. The shift light is bright and easily adjustable.
It remains to be seen how reliable it will be and at that price the quality may be questionable but at the price, who cares. It easily switches for 4,6 or eight cylinders and takes the signal for the -ve side of the coil with other connections being to +12V, ground and panel light.
What’s not to like about this?

Rather cheaply produced
1 of 1 found this helpful Shed came with good instructions and was easy to assemble. I did it by myself using pieces of wood to prop it up whilst I screwed the panels together.
The floor is made out of low density chipboard on very thin bearers and flexed alarmingly. I strengthened the bearers with additional timbers but the floor still flexes when you step on it. It may be “dip treated” but as stated in the instructions this is only to protect during shipping and is not a full preservative: you will need to apply preservative yourself for it to last. It says it has a 10 year anti-rot guarantee but that doesn’t apply to the shed as supplied so it’s a worthless guarantee.
The construction is very similar to cheap fence panels; very thin framing and you can see light through the overlapping strips in places. A plus point is that the size of the pieces were accurate so it assembled well. The roofing felt supplied was cheap so will probably need replacing after a few years.
Overall, it’s a cheaply made shed although I paid over £200 for it so the price is a little high for what you get.
The window is made of thin plastic and couldn’t have been cheaper and still do the job. It’s a joke that tamper-proof screws wee supplied when you could punch out the panel is seconds. The hinges for the door were OK but the hasp and staple supplied were incredibly cheap and nasty and I didn’t use them.
If you want a garden shed to last then I would suggest paying more for better quality.
