Hi All,
Currnetly in the process of fitting a set of front drums to my lads mini.
Have found a set of drums complete, fit no probs, but just realised that they have spaced drums on them.
I'm sure that spaced drums were normally found on the rear.
Can anybody see any problems with using these on the front?

You can fit spaced to the front and the rear, although it depends on what wheels you have because it may make them stick out of the arches / body a bit?

im sure the front track is 1inch wider than the rear as standard

so

if your using spacered rear drums, then fit the spacered drums to the front also.

if non spacered on the rear, use non spacered on the front.

Thanks for the replies, was hoping there would be no issues with using them on the front!!!
