A quick question: Any idea what make the standard front brake calipers are on minis?



If you can find any pics that would be nice too.



Thanks mate!

God if you two carry on we'll be need a car forum soon.

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.



Divers go deeper and stay down for longer.

What a fantastic idea. <!--emo&B)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Either lockheed (think thats right) or later ones are AP.



Thats for the 7.5's. No idea on the metro 4 ports or anything.

(I'm just having a discussion with someone - he is swearing blind that TR7s use the same calipers as minis <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

MY GAWD!



Them things are massive. Don't think they would fit a mini. Well not without modding. Had a look on mini spares site and some were similar but not the same.

I didn't think so. Although (And this is where the confusion lies, I think) the TR7 does use the same brake pads as the mini. Bet you didn't know that!



Thanks for that!



And now, to appease Sir Matt, I shall rename this topic into a general car discussion thread. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Fiesta callipers fit. I know that much.

Actually, those pics are the wrong way round.
