Re Disc Brakes

Post by **mstevens** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 1:16 pm

Hi I am thinking of putting disc brakes on my Minor with a brake servo. What I want to know do you just use the servo on front brakes or front and rear brakes.
Thanks for any help give.

I'd servo all four brakes.

Servo all 4 its quite an easy conversion but before you buy a kit look at the post about wheels fouling the caliper. You may need spacers. Some kits appear to be better than others

Substitute 'appear' for 'are undeniably'.

Wow -disc brakes AND servo ? Just how much power is this Minor putting out ??

possibly braking power and not power out

Must have prodigous power output (I suppose) - to warrant disc brakes and servo!

Oh, dunno.

Kind of cool, discs all round. I had a Fiat 125, which was 1500cc only.....my first car that had them. They just looked good. And felt even better!

I would imagine discs would provide adequate braking when the car is loaded up to the windows with Wolseley brakes bound for the car tip..sorry, mart.

Rear disc brakes are just a pest - my Meriva has them - they rust up they are used so little - so far I've had to renew both discs and pads. The fronts - just 2 sets of pads so far.
I'll happily take all the W brakes anyone wants rid of!
