Post Brake upgrade please help!!!
Hello guys

Sorry to be a pain but due to me being an idiot please can someone explain what i need to do to fit the metro turbo calipers and discs I have purchased from ebay the first picture shows the current calliper on the front of my rossa and the 2nd and 3rd pictures show the new four pot calipers and some normal mini driveshafts and hubs i purchased from a local specialist which i dont need as i didnt realise the calipers i bought from ebay came with the hubs so wasted £90 on buying complete units which im not happy about, anyway the current calipers on have one hydraulic feed yet the metro 4 pots have two inputs per caliper what parts do i need to make this work? Thanks in advance Darryl also the other issue i have is do i use the longer steering arms that came with the metro setup or the shorter ones from the other mini setup i bought?

If it's a Mini subframe (which i presume it is) then use the Mini steering arms. There is actually a difference between Metro and Mini hubs, the balljoints on the Metro hubs are further apart + the balljoints are different, personally i'd be tempted to stick with the Mini hubs and buy some caliper bolts for an ERA turbo Mini to mount the 4 pots.

As for the calipers, you can get a hose kit from many of the Mini specialists to use your 4 pots on a single line system.

I was sure there were issues with Metro hubs on a Mini suspension setup, have a thorough read here http://www.calverst.com/articles/brakes ... laries.htm and here http://www.dsnclassics.co.uk/mini-tech-metrohubs.html
