yeah they definately are, they're still on metro hubs by the look of it. plus they've got the twin brake lines, i thought the alloy 4 pots were only a single line?

I knew thay were boggo metro items....

How about a few of us asking him some question.....

TE HE!

edit.........

Question sent.

I realy would like to upgrade my mini brakes, the alloy calipers are the way to go i have read. How much lighter (roughly) are your ones over cast iron ones?

*Notice the drive flanges still have the lugs that need to be removed for mini fitting*

Tosser!

They are very much of an alloy guys.
You English peeps seem to think that alloy means the same as aluminium. It doesn't.

These calipers are made of an iron alloy for instance. They certantly are made of an allloy, just not an aluminium alloy.

Techinically correct of course.

However most people seeing "alloy calipers" advertised, are understandably expecting aluminium alloy calipers. Same thing goes for wheels, if I said I would sell you a set of alloy wheels, you wouldn't be very impressed if you came to view them and they were a set of steel rims! As of course, steel is also an alloy.

i just asked him:

"Hi there, just wondered if these are the KAD or Minispares alloy 4 pots? And why they're on metro hubs, with metro drive flanges, with twin brake lines. "
