Car Forum / MINI / May 2004Vented Discs
Does anyone know if I can put the Front Vrakes off a Metro Turbo onto a Mini. The set I have are four pot calipers with vented discs. Would they work? Im planning on putting 13 inch wheels onto the car, as it already has the standard 12 inch wheels. NO as you cant use the stub shafts in mini swivel hubs.... and you cant use the swivel hubs from a metro as they are incorect for the camber... > Does anyone know if I can put the Front Vrakes off a Metro Turbo onto a > Mini.

But he wasn't asking about the driveshafts and suspension bits! The brake disk and calliper will fit, and there are plenty of people out there using this set-up.  SignatureChris Morriss The Metro CV joint is exactly the same as a disc braked Mini one. The wheel bearings are also interchangeable, so you most definitely can use them. However, you are correct about the camber problem.

Yes, there's plenty of information about how to do this on the web and in the mags. A number of companies sell the piping kit to adapt the four-pot callipers.
