they must have been, the discs definitely not 8.4 but no signs of modifications to the mount on the callipers, i have 8.4 discs and callipers mocked up on my other mini waiting for some 4pots from minisport ill just swap them over when the 4pots get here i think, they only went to santapod and back (on a car transporter lol) Yes i moved to the darkside |

From your picture it looks like 1/4" wide ring of the disc is not being used which leads me to the following conclusion cooper S callipers on 8.4 discs if such a thing is possible. Own the day

Is the nut undone on the top ball joint for a reason? Edited by John on 28th Jan, 2009. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
