Ey up,

would anyone be able to tell me or point me to somewhere I can find the
dimensions for the various Mini braking systems? I'm doing a Physics paper
on technical measurement, so I'd like to try and get the fluid pressures and
mechanical advantages, etc. If ANYONE has any info I'd be really grateful
cus it's due in three weeks and I don't know where to start!

Anyone? Thanks!
Chris

This may be a good starting point

I would help if you explained which measurements you are after - pedal
length to fulcrum, fulcrum to master cylinder pushrod, master cylinder
diameter, disk diameter, caliper piston diameter, ;llllll cat on
keyboard rear slave cylinder diameter drum diameter, show width, etc etc
etc.

If the paper is about measurements, they probably expect you to go
measure these things yourself and estimate the errors in each
measurement.
