I'm pretty sure that includes everything, but at that price you can get some billet 4 pots!

i want 10" wheels but refuse to pay the prices for the second hand ones (i have seen some in a right state go for silly money) . i would rather pay the extra for the new ones. so what are these alloy 4 pots and could i have 10's with them

[minimadjonesy]

like these!! mmmmmmm

If you are running Metro callipers on Mini hubs then yes.
If you have Metro hubs however then you will need to fix your botched and broken suspension first!

[minimadjonesy]

and if that is the case, and you can afford it, go for the set up I did!

yummy!

[minimole]

i have mini hubs.

As you already have disks, all you need do is replace the calipers and the disks ( and drive flanges if going to S disks as opposed to cutdown 8.4's )

so a lot cheaper then the 700 above...

GW, hence the cheaper link a littl further up!! :cheese:

Hang on a tick... novice quetion here... I have a '74 mini with drums all round and 10" wheels... what will I need to get a disc conversion on the front??

[miniboo]

You need the expensive kit with driveshafts and everything.


I think the cheapest way for you to go is to get a conversion to 8.4 with second hand parts, then get the minisport 7.9 inch disc conversion

[ianbunyan]

dangit! cheers though

Hi sorry for hijacking thread.

What are the Mini sport brakes like in terms of quality and ease of fitment.
I am thinking of 4 pot in the new year.

I was going to spend the extra on KAD brakes but if the minisport gear is ok will be cheaper.

And they do red which will give me Chav points :grin:

[Jammy]

KAD are the better design, MiniSport are *ok*, but there has been a couple of issues with piston seals and such.

Ive got those Mini sport 4 pots they went on no trouble and are fine withe my wheels but be careful because steel 10's wont fit
