Car Forum / MINI / August 20037" disc assemblies
Does anyone have a link to more information about 7" disc assemblies or know anything about them? Cheers,  Signature<{---Celeborn---}> nIbpoH: The feeling you've read this Tagline before. > Does anyone have a link to more information about 7" disc assemblies > or know anything about them? > > Cheers, All I pretty much know is the 7.5" assemblies are far superior! You might get something from Senor Calver though http://tinyurl.com/l1s5 Chris And Celeborn was sitting next to Elvis in the spaceship, which I thought was kinda strange, but then they turned to me and said: > Does anyone have a link to more information about 7" disc assemblies or > know anything about them? Yes - they take even longer to stop than drums... Exaggerating a bit, but they didn't have much 'bite', and suffered terribly from heat build up and brake fade. Signature(-AD-) <uniqueid 'at' lineone.net> http://website.lineone.net/~uniqueid/ When you switch me off, will I dream? 7inch units were fitted to the 997 and 998 Cooper models only. Basicaly a novelty item and you'd stop better by sticking you feet through the floor Ala Fred Flintstone than fitting them to your car...unless of course your restoring a 997 or 998 Cooper, then stay original.

That's what I thought - know anyone/anywhere who wants to buy a fully reconditioned genuine pair? ;P Signature<{---Celeborn---}> "My name is Crusher.
