calipers
Turbo Mini Forums

Looking for an upgrade over my standard calipers. Can be cooper s or metro 4 pods or KAD. Anyone got anything sitting around growing dust?

Ive got a pair of metro 4 pot calipers, one ive stripped and the others still on the upright

What are these pods you speak of??

Minispares do alloy 4 pots for £280ish or you could scour eBay for some Metro ones...

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Typo error meaning pots instead of pods :)
Been on ebay already and have seen them. Just thought I'd post up on here first and see if anyone has something kicking around cheaper than that, that they want to get rid of.
With the metro calipers I know that the metro hub's are required but is the geometry change noticeble on mini's or not really. I mean it will eventually just be a weekend basher once turboed.

the geo ont the metro uprights are considerible different to mini uprights, i was under the impression that metro 4 pot calipers could fit on mini uprights (not 100% sure though) i have the uprights which the calipers came off, only thing is they are partially stripped

Metro hubs aren't required with metro calipers. just the flanges if you are running venteds and some era caliper bolts available from minispares

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Doesn't bother me if they are stripped as I'll rebuild them anyways. Just as long as I can get the hubs and calipers then really I'm sorted. Just another set back before riv run.

You don't need the hubs.

Right I seem to be getting confussed here. Other than the calipers what else will I need to fit them onto my mini?

you should be able to fit the calipers straight to mini uprights

I will shortly have a set of KAD alloy 4 pots available complete with drive flanges, 7.9" solid discs and almost brand new Mintex 1144 pads. I will want fair money for them though!

New this little lot is over £500 so I'd be wanting £375 posted.

Bit pricey for me. I couldn't warrant that amount for how much use it gets. Thanks for the offer tho, think I'll settle with the metro calipers as they are up to the job aswell.

Longy how much would you be after for the calipers alone now that I've sourced parts?

The Meccy 4 Pots are just bloody heavy!

I think they will account for a 3rd of the weight of my car. lol

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Nah not worried about weight. You have a PM longy

abit OT but if the scrub radius is set properly then a mini on metro hubs should be fine.

anyway......
