sprite / midget disc brakes

[246gts]

A couple of weeks ago I asked if sprite disc brakes would fit onto the Minor and a few people said yes but I would need a bracket to fit the callipers to.
Whilst this may not be the best way forward as I should be fitting Wolseley bits, on eBay at the moment there is a part conversion kit that would appear to have the bits I need, can anyone advise?

Hello Dave,

the uprights you do not need, but that shown does not have the hubs, calipers or mounting brackets. It doe snot state what discs thet are either.

Thanks Alec
I have asked the question of the buyer as to what discs etc. I already have complete sprite hubs, discs, callipers and stub axles from a sprite I rebuilt, the problem is that sprites have wishbone suspension and a kingpin in the stub axle. The callipers bolt onto the stub axle.
My question is if we have a Minor upright I need somewhere to bolt on the calliper and to be quite honest I dont fancy "making up a bracket" to bolt callipers onto, lives depend on that!
I have also asked the buyer to show the back of the uprights to see what is on there. Maybe a picture will make it all clear?

Hello Dave,

having had a second look it is possible that there is a bracket behind the splash shield. You will have to rely on the seller giving accurate information.

Good luck.

The discs look a bit big to be Sprite - are they not just 7" ? Which in any case is a bit small for a car the weight of a Minor - Sprite is a good bit lighter. But I do understand the Sprite hubs will fit straight on to the Minor sub axles. However - you will as you say need to make a suitable sturdy bracket to mount the calipers - unless it is indeed hiding behind the shields.

Very late reply, but definitely not Midget discs - Marina??
