I have a standard set of 8.4" vented disks on another mini with metro 4 pots and the minisport ones on mine with alloy calipers that I can measure up at the weekend. I'll let you know what I find out.

Bit of an update...
Went home this weekend and trial fitted everything again and it was clear that the standard metro turbo vented disc with mini flange would not fit with the minisport ally 4 pot vented caliper.
However, some careful measuring, a quick 1.4mm machined off the flange-meeting face of the disc, and flanges drilled to 9.9mm to accept metro bolts and it all fits nicely! No fouling on the steering arm and the disc sitting bang in the centre of the caliper.
A cheap alternative to £82.41 for some discs (inc. postage) that are out of stock until god knows when!!
