Here I have some Minispares Alloy 4 pot calipers, discs and drive flanges, they have done less than a thousand miles from new. They have got some surface rust on the discs and flanges from where they got a bit damp in storage, but I have shot blasted them. They come with bolts and spacers.

There is some small amount of damage on one where I'm guessing a weight has rubbed on it.

 

£300 plus postage.

Will they fit in 10" rims?

Thats my issue too, doesnt seem to be definate answers on fitting in either 10x3.5 standard steels (pretty sure no) and 10x5 exactons (some say yes some say no).

Hi there, I'm in Grantham Lincolnshire.

Yes they will.

I will check both tomorrow, I'll mount the caliper and disc on a hub and take photos(if I can). When they were on the car I had it on 10x5 Exactons and didn't appear to be an issue, not sure about the steelies though. They do fit under 10x6 ultralites.

ok, what do I need in order to swap my drums for these?

[dean]

your need a set of disc brake hubs,and cv's as drum brake cv shafts are smaller, best to look for a set of drive shafts in good usable condition for disc brakes

 

thats about it as long as what you buy second hand is in good usable condition , 

 

i was waiting for a set of these for to come along second hand for ages , got fed up and bought a new set from mini spares at christmas when they had 15% discount, they are very nice, mush lighter than standard callipers, not got round to fitted them as the car is still being rebuilt but i have test fit them on my hub with the wheels i have ( MS rose petals) and they fit fine ( bleed nipple is close but does not hit), and as long as you have no stick on weight on the inside on the wheel, no problems if there is knock on weights on the out side rim.

I will check fitment later on the wheels, I didn't get a chance yesterday

As mentioned by dean, you will need hubs/CV's, and possibly driveshafts - disc cars have larger diameter shafts, I have seen some drum cars with larger driveshafts though..

 

I can supply hubs and driveshafts if required, but they would want rebuilding. I have driveshafts for pot joints and rubber coupling types.
