Whilst looking for the light hum coming from the NSF I decided to strip the wheelbearing...only to find the outer spinning merrily inside the hub (15thou feeler gauge will fit between the hub & outer bearing) so I am looking for a hub for a '90 mini Neon with disc brakes. (or an oversized bearing!) Can anyone out there help?

Are these a larger diameter than the standard bearing? I don't understand.

you'll need a replacement hub (from any disc-brake mini will do) .. go to your local shop/dealer/breakers yard.
good luck, Theo van den Bogaard
You'll be needing one of these

More than can be said of Moss

What's wrong with Moss? I've always found them okay in the past.

these are standard bearings afaik
Actually you can clean the hub ( loctite cleaner) and refit the bearing cup with Bearing Retaining grade Loctite this works not sure over how long but will suffice over a short period at least.
This keeps the mini on the road till you get the new hub at least..
I just left the feeler gauge there for the time being......
Awful, parts out of stock, no idea when they will be in, don't send them to you when they do eventually get them in. You have to chase, chase, chase. Part orders is shipped with no note to say why the missing stuff is missing.
Mini Sport on the other hand are excellent. The box with your order is even packed with the information in layers and at the bottom of the box is a note saying "Thanks for your order"
I won't be using Moss ever again
Well i've not had any problems with Moss myself YET? But I did order a shiny new grille from Mini Sport for my Mini a few Christmases ago and it arrived all dented and twisted as it hadn't been packaged properly.
Well okay I did get a replacement, after i'd returned the knackered one first and so the replacement didn't then arrive for weeks and it was meant to be a Christmas present!
Oh well mistakes happen I guess?

Thats what your mommy said when you were born.
