For 12" wheels? Why not use Metro 4 pots? It's got to be easier.

yes i heard about that but im gona to be using an Adjustable Camber Kit to over come that. prefered seal ball joints to no greasing to be done lazy me!!!! The pads have double the surface area that the four pots pads have. just some thing different to try I'm stupid Ive A fiesta with most of the bits to make my megajolt thingy. Thick or what!!!!

Up to you, but my advise would be to get proper Mini hubs. Even with the adjustable arms the handling with Metro hubs is not what it ought to be.

i dont, i love how my mini handles on metro hubs! mainly for the reduction in how severe the car pulled to one side if i lost traction on just one wheel. makes the car much more civilised. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)
