Brake question
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all. Im currently using a standard mini set up, 2pot calipers and solid discs (8.4"). I have a set of metro 4pot callipers and vented discs which i want to convert to mine, would i be able to swap the calipers and discs straight onto my hubs etc? or would i need to change the whole driveshaft and hubs? Cheers

i think all you need is the metro drive flanges, which will need the 4 oval lugs chopping off from the centre, i think

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

the lugs clear some wheels. they were perfect fit for my superlites

As said yes your metro 4pots and discs will fit on your hubs, as bodgeit says some do clear the lugs but as far as am aware some 12" wheels wont clear the calipers tho (most do tho)


Rick

you need the metro conversion pipework too

Agree with Nic you need the brake pipework conversion too. The lugs on the drive flange fit alomost all 13" and many 12" wheel without modifying. You HAVE to have the metro drive flange any other will not fit. You used to be able to buy modded ones at the suppliers but these are no manufactured/available.

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt... Then it's hilarious!

sorry to hijack but just out of interest, why will the mini drive flanges not fit? do the holes thet bolt it to the disk not line up or something?

The metro flanges move the discs out from the hub, without them the discs & callipers won't align.
