Because I am from Canada and calling long distance will cost a lot of money 
and since we are in an age/era  where the email, SMS, Whatsapp, fb msg, ig DM replaces the old school calling method ..... thought I give that a try with them.... I guess they haven't quite caught on yet. 

Anyways 
i I took my mini apart infront of the parts store and got exactly what I need. 

And for future reference and other people who might need to replace these parts
here are the part # to replace the low quality rose joints that came with the kit with higher quality nylon lined, chrome plated and heat treated QA1 X-series rod ends !

they are
- XML8-10
- XMR8-10

4 left hand threads and 4 right hand threads

hope this can help people in the future  

Why does one use email and messages rather then try to call and speak directly???

BJ is an awesome guy to deal with as well as norm at Minitec.I run a business and buy/sell car stuff all the time and know how ridiculous emails,Pms,texts etc are.

I have had ZERO issues with their products or customer service.They are busy guys,give them a ring and they will answer or call back.

I'd be surprised if MM had them in stock. From seeing how MiniTec puts the kits together, I'm pretty sure MM just passes the orders along and MiniTec does the shipping. Pick up the phone and call BJ at MiniTec.

contact jemal,  cant you buy the parts from our host since they sell the kits?

exactly why i ask on this forum ............

isnt the host a distributor of these frames?  

Bj and Norm are always busy, and they don't spend much time answering emails, but someone will answer the phone if you call. That's always the best bet to get ahold of them.

The rose joints will surely be one of some generic off-the-shelf size. Just like a bolt (or nut): Thread diameter, pitch and length and then the hole diameter of the pin that passes through them. All things where you can get the measuring tools to figure out.


Here's one page where it offers different specifications

You're in the wrong forum I think. Purists only here. Maybe a handful of vtec guys here.

i wanna just change all of them
