I'm just about to order some rear drums for the car and after a bit of searching, its apparent there are some imitations of the original super minifins available on e-bay for a siginficant saving over the originals. Anyone got anything to say about them?

i have heard they are pap, no good what so ever, tbh do you really need super fins? may as well get spacerd drums, the rear breaks dont do as much work as the fronts Drives

good for the unsprung weight, i have a set of Minisport ones and those chinese copies, compared side to side, i can't see a difference, i say get em if you can afford em, they are usually 45-50 quid which is half price roughly. 133.5 bhp 123 lb torque 116mph @6640rpm 9.5psi

I've got a set of Minifins. They are non spacered. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

The thing is, you cannot buy Minifins anymore. Not for twenty years! On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

i've got a set of the original minifins already but as Vegard points out - they are non spacered. I could just add separate spacers but the spacered drum would be better.

I made the mistake of buying HS ones ages ago. I think they are actually cast iron spacered drums with some alloy fins cast on. They are perhaps more heavy than iron drums!!!! The casting also looks second rate.
Bugger off, I'm getting there. |
