Hi, make sure you get the correct drive flanges for the discs and calipers you want.. solid or vented.

I have always liked 4pots. The only negative is the increase in unsprung weight.

ah ,, i see , lightened my discs, i machined out those little connecting bridges in between the 2 sides ,and removed one of the sides ,made it a lot lighter ,funnily enough they looked a bit like the old ones ,still must be better cos they are shiny.

will fitting metty brakes on mini hubs push your wheel out any further? no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

there's 2 different sized bean can's. one i think doesnt contain enough fluid to operate the brakes correctly, the other is a bit bigger and is fine. Either size work fine, the taller one is a cooper S type, internally exactly the same, only difference is it holds more fluid, so that if the pads are worn right the way down without the fluid being checked, there is enough capacity so that the master cylinder will not introduce air into the brake hydraulics. If you use the shorter type with disc brakes (even more so 4 pots) just ensure you check the brake fluid periodically and top up if reqd.
