Whats the difference between the 2???
ie the later 12" wheeled minis and the cooper s stuff??

I have 7.5" calipers, drive flanges and pads etc but not the hubs, are they that different?!?!?!?!?

The OD around where the flange/disc covers the hub is 'supposedly' slightly larger on 8.4" - which can 'apparently' cause issues if fitting NOS 7.5" parts - but i've never had a problem myself...
