I did the conversion many years ago - it works really well - excellent brakes with no squealing/pulling to one side/fading - not like Mini brakes at all! Contact me if you need any help with it.

Really? What issue was raised here that lead to them being removed?

I have only had good things from them. There were a few comments about modifying brakes and somebody saying it wasn't a good idea, but cannot find the link. All I did was file a bit off the carrier about 1mm and enlarged the carriers holes for caliper bolts.

Just read through those, am i missing something?
what's the difference between turning the discs down to 7.9 and using the fiesta callipers as opposed to the minis callipers?

Mini 8.4 calipers still won't fit over 10" wheels.
You needs metro drive flanges also which pulls out the disc further clearing hub and carrier.
