Simple question in the tittle.

I currently have 7 inch cooper discs which are pretty poor. Would like to know if all disc hubs are the same. So if i was to buy some alloy calipers/7.5 discs and drive flanges they would fit my hubs?

Many thanks

I just looked on somerfordmini and minispares and the same hub is listed for all disc brake minis

I had looked on minisport but they say all 84 onwards. Minispares say all, might just buy a caliper kit and if it doesnt fit ill just have to get some new hubs.

I had Metro 4 pots and 8.4 inch discs, I bought the MiniSpares 7.5 inch Cooper S kit and they bolt on to the hubs fine, and drive flange engages into the drive shaft splines all ok.

If you have, quite rare now, 7" discs off a 997 or 998 Cooper they use the same bearings, etc. as drums & are incompatible with all the other discs, which can be interchanged. Though there can be a slight lack of clearance on the inside of some over the "nose" of the swivel hub.

Thank you very much ethel!

Looks like my best bet would a complete setup or some second hand 8.4's/7.5's and buy some discs/calipers.
