Hello

 

Do you have actual experience with MS's own rear subframe ? Will it fit nicely ? 

 

I  asked them about availibility but no response so far.

I have one on my Riley and everything’s been great. Only heard good things in my experience. I seem to remember that when I ordered they were on their first batch and I did wait a few weeks for availability, but got put on a waiting list and the wait was shorter than expected.

What is the difference beetween MS45D and FAM6292MS ?

 

MS45D - Mini rear subframe dry suspension - non genuine (minispares.com)

 

FAM6292MS - Mini subframe rear dry suspension in black powder coat (minispares.com)

I’m be is in e coats so will still need scuffing and painting before being fitted.

The other comes powder coated so it can be fitted out the box.

Finally I ordered this subframe. I was happy until I opened the box.

 

This is a very poorly assembled product. I can't see any spotwelds, only "snotting" .These welds are pieces of ****.

 

I'm think I will send it back

Yeah that’s not fit for purpose send it back.

[gaspen]

So they accepted my complaint and I don't have to return it.

 

I'll pay the difference for a heritage subframe without shipping cost.

 

Nice customer care

Wow, that's some grade A pigeon poop welding! How has that made it past QC, or even to the painting stage?!

Wonder if it would be salvageable, if you had the time and patience to jig it up then unweld it...

I asked them if I was the only one who received this "subframe-shaped" piece and they said the last delivery was pretty disappointing.

 

I think it is salvageable but it I will see if I have the motivation

 

I already rebuilt an other one so it is not impossible

Entire batch was returned to supplier.

The heritage subframe delivered today. At the moment I can not report how does it fit but this is another class
