normally it is used on an 8.4" disc turned down to 7.9" diameter. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

The general idea is that the Fiesta callipers are used as a chep mod to fit 10" wheels.

Fiesta calipers are very rare now. Presumably the pads will soon be unavailable.

If you want and upgrade then fit some 4-pots. although it's only really an upgrade ifyou fit the ally ones. as the Metro ones are really heavy and offer no real benefit to braking. okk, i think i should keep the standard calipers and fit a groove disc and better pads on it |

no point going to an 8.4 on F calipers they will just over hang the pad more.
I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I wander if they've patented 7.9" brake discs? Edited by Rob H on 10th Jan, 2010. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

fiesta caliper will not fit over the 8.4 discs, and the caliper will also not fit the stadard mini hub you need metro hubs.
Cheers, Andrew

about 6 months before me, I like them, but I'm thinking of swapping to a yellow tag MC. What do you run? Edited by gr4h4m on 10th Jan, 2010. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I woul like to know then i know what to expect! Embarrassingly the 1293 turbo lump is still sat under the work bench & the mirage kit is in Birmingham I think so the BOC is running a Stage 1 MG Metty lump for now. I found the brakes more than up to any thing I can give them on the roads, managed to get them to lock up in the wet on the way to MITP a couple of years back but never managed to lock the wheels in the dry.

Have you made up some spaces & done some machining on the lathe by chance?
