Title: Mike Guido contact info
Post by: Dmulder on September 02, 2018, 10:12:04 AM
Does anybody have Mike Guido's contact info?  I'm looking to order some parts and was hoping to get them sooner than later so was hoping to order them through the US mini sport site.

Another great reason to do business with Mike from Mini Spares USA - instead of taking an opportunity to sell me a par the and I would have to order and ship across the pond he gives me a part number at a National parts store for a part that works on my vehicle off of a 74 Ford pick up.

Straight up Awesome guy.

That is very decent.

Out of curiosity, what's the part?  I may need it sometime too.

Bruce - the part is a gas cap.
Auto Zone
Part # 10623
Stant - non locking gas cap from a 1974 Ford F-100 fits the mini.

Is that a vented or non-vented cap?

Dave - it doesn't look vented to me. I have a vented tank though.

So do I, that's why I asked - I need a non-vented cap. I can't seem to pull that number up at Autozone tho....

Edit: found it under 6023, says it's vented tho

A vented cap with a vented tank should be fine - optional extra venting.  It is the unvented tank that requires a vented cap.

I agree, it should be - but when I fill this tank and use a vented cap it pisses gas out on right hand turns - as we found out on our Texas run when Bruce was behind me, so I put the original locking non-vented cap back on and no leakage now. I also don't have staining under the filler tube like most Mini do.....
