With the design of many Mini parts now some 60 years old it’s hardly surprising that science has developed improved alternatives.

The classic Mini differential output shaft oil seal is a case in point. Mini Spares has announced a new version made from a modern-day material – Viton. This will help stop those troublesome leaks that many classic A-Series suffer from.

Available as part ADU5738VITON the RRP is just £3.42 each inc VAT (note: two are required per gearbox).
