I wouldnt. You can pick up a set of 8.4" for around £50.

Hi,
I think you've got to look at a lot of different options.
If the 1300 discs are all you can get hold of, then get modifying.
But if it's going to cost a small fortune it maybe cheaper to ship some 8.4" in from ebay?
Failing that, go the the local breakers and adapt something off a car common in your part of the world to fit the Mini?
Cheers,
Gavin :)

If the disc breaks, buy a new one!
