Hi,
there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.

I,m pretty sure that it is the same as on Midget and MGB calipers so try an MG specialist like Moss Europe. |

Not the same as MGB I'm afraid, we have tried quite a few times to get these made/sourced. |

It seems you have two options:

The spacer is there in case you you use the metro 4 pots on vented brake disks. Vented disks are wider than solid disks. The steel nipple is there to keep the hose in his straight form, it prevent it from deforming. there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.

I going to have a look what can be done with the standard parts to make them work with O-rings. there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.

I imagine the majority of folk just use later Metro calipers which are cast to suit vented disks. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

This explains a lot for me, thanks for this piece of the puzzle. Paneermeel there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.
