Car Forum / MINI / October 2003discbrakes
I have bought a second hand set of disc brakes (including the hub, flange and driveshaft) for my drum-braked Mini. The discs look OK, but what is the minimum thickness for the 8.4" disc? No manual states this. They are 9.6 mm now. Thanks, John hi i couldnt tell you the correct thickness but if there is a pornounced lip on the outer edge or if they are severly scored i would change them, they aren't that expensive. fragged > I have bought a second hand set of disc brakes (including the hub, flange > and driveshaft) for my drum-braked Mini.

I have just replaced the discs on my mini, the old discs measured 9.3 but where beginning to send a slight pulse through the pedal, Good advice from other posts, change the discs, Fitzy > hi > i couldnt tell you the correct thickness but if there is a pornounced lip > on the outer edge or if they are severly scored i would change them, they > aren't that expensive. > > fragged 'pornounced'??? But seriously, the edge of a new disc states min. thickness of 8.6mm.  SignatureRgds Steve steve@dsnclassics.co.uk www.dsnclassics.co.uk 9.6 mm is the original disc thickness. Most discs have a minimum thickness stamped on the edge of the disc.

(reckon previous owner must have had them skimmed, cause can't see that they would "wear" that much, even with 89,000 miles on the clock.
