Whilst at it, could you please measure the distance between the caliper mount holes?

Aha, so that's where the link is. I'm dying to find something that can make me throw the swinging calipers in the bin.

How does the Midget caliper compare to the Mini 8,4" one? Midget ones taste sweeter and are more succulent. If my memory serves me correct the pistons are slightly bigger than the 8.4 ones, and the castings have a bit more meat on them. If you want I'll get you a couple of photos, unfortunately none of my cars have 8.4" Mini brakes so I can't do any comparison shots. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

It does sound as the early 1100/1300 calipers might be better than the later ones.. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
