fiesta brake kit ???
Turbo Mini Forums

does anyone sell a kit yet of the fiesta brakes for the mini so i can run 10" wheels please?

what about the machining that needs to be done to get the holes to line up and also dont you need metro drive flanges?

I am running fiesta brakes on my mini and I am very happy with them!!!

It only took about one afternoon to install once I got all of the parts together...good luck

Caution- objects in mirror are LOSING!

Having just serviced the brakes on my Mum's Fiesta this afternoon, I'm tempted to give the conversion a go, but I've got several silly questions I want to get sorted in my head before I start, I suppose it's best to check.

I presume the caplipers used in the conversion are the ones fitted to all post 95 Fiestas? (The hole spacing on the hubs appears to be the same as on the Mini)

My Mum's Fiesta is fitted with vented discs as opposed to solid discs shown in the how to link, I take it that you can turn Metro turbo discs down to 7.9" without any problems?

Will I get away with putting the old Mini brakes of the Fiesta (Joke)

Off to look through my bits box to see if I've still got my old metro drive flanges.

what type of fiesta do these calipers come off?

If in Doubt, go flat out !!!

i know mk1 s definately work, and i belive i have heard of people using mk 2 and 3 sucessfully as well...... not sure about after that...

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

what benifit are the ford brake set up against the metro turbo vented set up?

'scuse the question but i dont know.

Isnt there a clearance issue with discs with 10" Mambas. I iwas going to tens it would have to be Mambes but won't if there is an issue

mambas are always a problem, but i dont have the caliper setups to check my stock of mambas over them. Mambas varied a lot over their 30 or so year production run. i cant see their being a problem with some of the later ones which are very skimpy.
