Anyway i recon this is a very worth while conversion so im going to write a sort of instruction manual for it so you lot dont have to figure it out for yourselves.

austin68; you can keep everything appart from your calipers and hoses and you modify your existing hubs.

ps. the brakes are really great now they have bedded in!
Mk1/2 fiesta calliper conversion,
for 8.4” mini brakes to allow 10” wheels
Parts required
· Mini (84 on); Standard disks,
Hubs,
Driveshafts / cv’s
Drive flange mounting bolts

· Fiesta (76-89); Mk1 (76-83) calipers and mounting bolts or
Mk2 (83-89) callipers and mounting bolts

Hose end E321-3 x2
Converter from imperial to mm MMS5-3-31 x2

Airoquip hose TFE3 32 32cm
Modifications required
· Turn standard 8.4’’ disks down to 7.9”
· The hubs need to have a mounting face put onto the opposite side of the calliper mounting lugs parallel to the original and the mounting holes need to have the threads drilled out (10mm drill is perfect) for clearance for the fiesta bolts.
· The drive flanges need to have the wheel locating lugs removed, if they have them, so that mini wheels can be fitted (some alloys will fit without them being removed but you’ll have to check)
· The web on the calliper mounting bracket needs to be ground away a little for clearance on the hub. Its clear how much needs to be removed when offering it up to the hub.

But please check with your insurance company that they will accept this mod as i made the mistake and have had an insurance claim invalidated as a result
