Melbourne Australia ... not a convict

22nd Aug, 2018 at 10:19:25am

So ... I have 2 x metro front hubs, 2 x vented disc's, 2 x metro steering arms, 2 x drive flanges { not sure mini or metro but will get to the shed on Sat } and a complete 8.4 set up on my mini with 12 inch wheels.

my question is what do I use and what do I need to go with 4 pot metro calipers { waiting on ebay atm inc hoses } and the vented disc's ?

how much of my std 8.4 set up is interchangeable ?

it's a daily driven toy so the extra weight is not a worry.

Cheers Jon

The metro disc/flange etc will all fit on the mini hub, as will the 4 pot calipers. To do it "right" you really need ERA turbo caliper bolts, these are 3/8thread to suit the mini hubs, and 10mm shank to locate the 10mm hole in the Metro calipers correctly. However I'd be willing to bet that loads of folk over the years have just bolted the metro calipers on using the mini bolts and not had an issue.
Final job is machine the 4 wheel locating lugs off the metro drive flanges.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
