Hi All,

Hopefully I'm in the right place, recently acquired a 1992 998cc classic mini and now I'm in the process of adding my own flare to it, firstly I'm looking to replace the brake system from 8.4" to 7.5 " , been looking at all types/kits ect but do like the 4 pot alloy calipers that Mini Sport have on offer http://www.minisport...y-calipers.html , my question is to convert my existing brakes to these would I need cooper s drive flanges as like in other kits or is there something else needed? Also what tools would be ideal to make my life easier, sorry if this is a daft question but been a fan of the mini for many years and now I have one it's all a new experience.

If anyone has any better ideas I would appreciate these.

Thank you in advance

I have just bought some parts for the conversion from minispares. On offer until end of month on a group buy.

+1 on the group buy. Just bought mine from there and will be arriving in a few days
A lot cheaper than mini sport and better quality in my opinion
