i have just purchased a pair of austin princess discs, straight bolt on to mini hubs 270mm (10.8inch) solid ( i figure they will never do repeated high speed stops) the discs sit very slightly further away from the drive flange than the mini discs once these are delivered i will get them mocked up caliper wise the options are wide open now ,, i want to see how my current 4 pots fit first of all but i dont think i will be able to get them close enough to the disc i have 12.5 inch worth of room max inside the wheel, so lets call it 12 inch to give 1/4 inch clearance Yes i moved to the darkside |

I don't see why you don't try and use mgf disks and get calipers to fit, easy to re-drill as quite a few of the metro guys re-drill for mini PCD mgf discs dont fit, rumour has it ( i can only find one suggestion on the net ) rover 100 hub conversion with 100 flanges will allow mgf discs and calipers to fit - now i dont even know if that is possible the mgf 4 pots are a very nice caliper from the AP racing 7600 range but the mgf ones come with mounting lugs that look way too big to usefull they are on the ' too investigate list' there also examples on ebay selling for more than the wilwood equivalent is new Edited by Brett on 24th Jan, 2015.

I have Wilwoods on the rear of my other project, most Wilwoods don't have dust seals but not sure if that's a problem. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

shown next to a new old stock 8.4

SpNOam on 16vminiclub has got rover 100 hubs on a mini frame, (as do i sortof) its a lot of work, i had mine redrilled to mini pcd but keepi g the thicker metro studs.. ita affects offset , scrub radius, bump steer, ride height and loads of other things, bit to much hassle just for bigger brakes. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

The Maxi disc allthough a little smaller in diameter to the princess disc, sits further away from the hub, IE its not as tall As the Mini disc.

I went for the smaller pistons so i could get some feel back in the pedal since the braking effort is significantly lower (not quite half) with the bigger disc and the 1144 pads. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
