Car Forum / MINI / March 2004Disc Brakes & metro parts
Hi there, I'm hunting for a pair of disc brakes for my mini. It seems the best way to get disc brakes to get a whole set from a 1275GT series mini or the pos-1984 mini as they call comes with standard disc. I've heard recommendation that there're metro disc brakes, and they do not really fit into a mini without some modifications. Is this true..? And what are metro parts.. like sometimes I hear about metro head for 1275cc engine.. How is it different from standard parts? What is the term metro in regards to? Thanks, Yako^^ If you are unfamilliar with metro cars see http://austinrover.mg-rover.org/mgrevmetrosf.htm GT type brakes work well for a road car and are easily fitted. Some Metros had vented discs which can fit easily but really require a bit of thought to avoid positive camber. Allan > Hi there, > I'm hunting for a pair of disc brakes for my mini.
