Two components have minor role (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bit part

'minor role' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'two components' is the wordplay.
'two components' means two substitutions for 'component'.
'component' becomes 'bit'.
'component' becomes 'part' (a component is a part of something).
'bit'+'part'='BIT-PART'

'have' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bit part that I've seen before include "cameo" , "Tool" , "Very minor role" , "Small acting role" , "extra work, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
