Jack knight transmissions what happened to them?

[wildoliver]

I have done a lot of googling on this and can't find anything definitive. The number on the net is disconnected.

Jack knight of mini transmissions made a diff I've just bought and I could possibly do with some spares. Does anyone know what's happened to them, are they going to phoenix, bought out by anyone?

Not good news unfortunately:

Unfortunately that's about as far as I got too.

The talent and spares must have gone somewhere though.

Try Minisport. If anybody has parts I’d think it would be them. I know they have an active machine shop for making parts.

Dennis Allt has taken over Jack Knight parts, for hillman imp bits, his website......

And his price list. So all parts would be available if he hadn't been in an accident before xmas (he is in hospital at present)

the thread on his accident. Other Imp people might know who is doing the mini parts ?

The last time I had any dealings with them they were operating out of a office block in Camberly, as at the time there were so many reports on the net about sub standard parts being sent out I took the time to drive up there with cash, the cash returned with me as the reports were true, badly finished rusty parts (probably poor storage / QC) a real shame as at one point they really were the go to company for quality.

That is a real shame, it's actually not for a mini part, I've bought an old midget lsd they made and was hoping they may still have some spares on the shelf. But I suspect with this much hand changing going on any spares like that will be long lost.

Maybe worth a call to Heathrow Transmissions? (Now in Chichester)

Hope they were not related to the Heathrow engine centre
