I was told the other day by a mini 'specialist' that when fitting metro hubs to a mini, if you fit the metro top arm then it puts the suspension geometry back where it should be.

Metro arms are different no doubt about it, i recently made a pair and took a jig from origional, but without checking one on the other i'll say it will not cure any differences,

Aren't metro top arms a lot longer - like at least 2" longer? On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

The chap reckoned that they had taken the design of the metro arm and put a 'upward bend' in it to bring the hub back in to line. Aparently the didn't have CAD in those days....

The biggest difference will be the ratio of 'spring' units On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

One of his other mod's that he told me about was chopping and rewelding the bulkhead so that you could fit a metro pedal box, servo and master cylinders.

The only reason I can think of is to have a servo AND to keep some space in the engine bay. Personally, I just push the pedal that bit harder.... Edited by apbellamy on 24th Sep, 2009.

metro servo and master cylinders setup is really shite. Why would anyone do that? I changed mine (which was metro) to a twin bias setup and its the dogs, even without a servo. |

also, make a note of the shocker mount position on the upper arm. do you want shockers pointing inwards? |
