I just bought a fiesta off a nice old man who sed he had a load of bits off his old mini in his garage. so i went along for a wee peek and walked out with a complete front subframe with engine and brakes. it was only when i got it out the car i realised it had 7.9" disks and calipers.

I'd be willing to sell the hubs with calipers and disks (though disks are a bit rusty) along with driveshafts. the full lot.

how much should i advertise these for?

no point on keeping them for my clubby...it has 13's so would be stupid using 7.9 brakes.

7.5 ??

7.5 ??

7.9 kits our out there so don't see why it couldnt be

7.9, sounds like its the Fiesta conversion.

It seems a well thought of set up.

The problem is that the big players are now offering a 12 -10" conversion kit using new parts for @£250, this seems to de-valued the traditional 7.5 set up.

Why pay £300 for a set of Genuine(and knackered) Cooper brakes when for less money you can get a nice shiney new set?

I don't really know how much they usually go for and it is a "Budget" conversion as well, so I'd hazzard a guess at £100-£125ish(although don't hold me that)

im doing the fiesta conversion at present its quite expensive if all parts are in top condition. pictures might help

7.5 S brakes not remaunfactured ones are worth minimum £150 in servicable condition IMO

[trafficface09]

there 7.9 though arnt they? and that conversion would be good for someone who wanted 10s but didnt want the work, id say £200 is an appealing price

[floydrob]

I'll need to get out the steel rule...not sure if they're 7.5 or 7.9

[mk3 Cooper S]

A large hub nut and no 4 bolt flange fixing would make them 7.5 ?

[floydrob]

deffinately 7.5"...just measured.

Disks are a bit rusty, but not scored atall so are diffinately useable.

what u think? £150?

[ministe]

I'll give you £100 for them next friday

[floydrob]

£130 and there urs

[ministe]

If you can pm/email me some pictures first just to check them out, I might be able to do £130 if you include postage in?
