Mini Spares has its own brand forged con rods as part of its EVO high-performance collection.<\/p>\n<p>Mini Spares\u2019steel connecting rods are machined by Arrow Precision Engineering from double-air re-melted 817M40 forgings. They weigh just 445gm per rod.<\/p>\n<p>The new X rod design maintains stiffness while reducing weight where it is not required.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, ARP 2000 5\/16in bolts are included, as are Colsibro small end bushes. An automated shot peening process increases the rod&#8217;s fatigue strength and durability. The connecting rods are balanced end-over-end, sorted into matched sets and laser marked for identification before being crack detected.<\/p>\n<p>CMM inspection is then carried out in a temperature-controlled quality department. Final visual checks are conducted before the con rods are packed in specially designed protective boxes for shipment.<\/p>\n<p>The rods shown are part number C-AEG624EVO (5\u00bein long, 1.625in journal, 20.66mm pin) with other sizes available (see website). Retail price per set \u00a3964.80 inc VAT.<\/p>\n<p>For more details call 01707 607 700 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.minispares.com\/\">www.minispares.com<\/a> <strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Anyone tuning a Mini or a kitcar with an\u00a0A-Series engine would do well to consider forged con rods as part of the upgrade.
