Treated him to some xenon headlight bulbs and some green led side light bulbs

pre 1980 swivels fitted top and bottom to the metro hubs Using the mini steering arms as the metro ones are longer, but had to open them out to 10mm because the mini bolts are imperial and slightly smaller diameter than Metro arm bolts . Pic of Mini arms fitted to Metro hubs.....

[camp freddy]

Mini arms fitted to the Metro hubs ... Just need to get another Metro cv as the one fitted is damaged .

[MiniLandy]

I've heard of problems with geometry with these, do keep us updated on them.

[camp freddy]

Hi minilandy, changed the metro steering arms as they were
longer and had more of a bend on them , I also have fully
adjustable suspension so should be able to resolve any
issues

[MiniLandy]

A chap on here did the same, and then his inner pot joints kept popping out.

Was the only thing that put me off the metro hubs, so do let us know how you get on!

[camp freddy]

only one way to find out .... could resort to lengthening them or trying metro shafts

You can successfully extend the inner pot joints, we used to do this when I raced ministox to stop the driveshafts pulling out.

Had to grind off the tabs on the flanges for the mini wheel then dressed down flush and studs refitted brakes fitted BUT couldn't finish them because two of the nipples broke off :-( , Always make sure they undo before you strip your old brakes off !!!!! BOOOO HOOOOO !!!!
