as it sais in the title will they fit onto standard disc brake hubs

[Dog]

Should do!
as all your changing is the disk....
then the caplapers suit the disk...

AFAIK....!

[fikus01]

to change the discs to 7.5" you need the cooper drive flanges too!!

ooh another thought!! i think the cooper hubs ran the same steering arm as drum brake models!! different turning leverage for the 10" wheels but this in not essential i dont think!!

Well the brakes hes on about are mine...

they will come with;

Calapers
Flanges
disks
rebuild kits...

I am guessing this is all you need to change from 8.4" disks to 7.5"

[fikus01]

check that steering arm thing out!!

[minidaves]

more important make sure you get the discs with the insdie machined rather than square else they dont rotate

I fitted 7.5" disc brakes to our Woody estate, using the hubs and steering arms off a later 8.4" set up. Not had any problems at all, tire wear is even, no bump steer or tramlining....

[Guess-Works.com]

there is no difference between an S hub and a MK4 hub....nor on the steering arms

[miniboo]

S steering arms are thicker though aren't they?

Also S hubs have a taper and mk4 hubs have a step.

but both types of discs fit.

the early cooper s, shared the same drive shafts as the early auto's!


so all in all, these will fit Lew's car
