Hi

A pretty generic question here. Do minifins fit on front drum brakes or are they different size to the rear ones?

Thanks

To be honest, I would have thought they were the same size, but don't hold me to that.

They'll fit fine, if anything that's what they were designed for.

If you're buying super minifins you'll need longer wheel studs and drum screws, the same as disc braked cars use on the rear.

Are they the ones you can get from MiniSport?

Think they're all Super Minifins, or copies of 'em, nowadays. Original Minifins didn't have the built in spacer and were a direct swap on drum braked cars. I have one in a corner of my garage if anyone needed a spare.
