Good Evening,
Now I'm not sure if I'm being a moron here, or whether I'm using the wrong parts.
I recently purchased a set of used Minispares 4pot calipers, for 7.5" discs, non-vented.
I have had Metro 4 Pot calipers on the car, vented discs, up until this point.
I purchased new Cooper S discs and uprated EN24T drive flanges, from Minspares, which means, on the front hubs of my mini, I should now have everything listed in this kit... (give or take uprated material components). https://minispares.c...23.aspx|Back to
Now, having gone to fit everything to the car tonight, I'm struggling with the spacing from the calipers from the lugs of the hub/from the disc face. Now my problem is, with the discs/flanges mounted on the CV drive splines, the caliper lugs won't actually meet the front knuckle lugs.
I have a feeling that I have read something about this before on here, but can't for the life of me find the thread it was in. I have attached a photo of the problem, if you look down the back of the caliper, you can see the amount of the bolt shown between the lugs that is the spacing that I need to lose somehow.
Thanks in advance, H.
