Morris Minor Owners Club

Bmcecosse,
I'm afraid the hubs are Ford PCD - much better for after market alloys.

There are tele dampers fitted (gas adjustables), they are just heavily disguised by mud.

I could provide a write up if people are really interested. I must admit they are a bit over the top but they look so good it had to be done.

Regards,
Wal

Ridiculous...


but Gorgeous

Well done Wal - I would certainly like to see a write-up if you can manage it - i'm sure others would too. Did you do it all yourself - or was it in Kit form ?

Nice work Wal .
Is your master cylinder big enough to cope with those calipers ?

I fitted big calipers with 255mm discs to one of my sedans then found the master cylinder wasn't big enough to handle the piston displacement .
Luckily, my van has a Jaguar m/c which copes nicely .

bmcecosse,
I will do my best to get a write up but it may take some time. It's not a kit, I made it up myself. The final concept is not that difficult provided you have access to some competent engineering experience and tools, because you are using a number of existing components that already fit together. However it's the time invested in trial fitting before hand that allowed me to make it fit in an afternoon that eats your time up.

Scott,
the master cylinder is standard but I have a remote resovoir to cope with the additional fluid requirements. So far it seems to be OK dealing with the additional displacement but the brakes aren't bedded in properly yet so I am prepared to wait and see. I have identified a larger master cylinder should the need arise.

Regards,
Wal

Nice conversion, and I can assure you that you will need brakes that big if you drive hard and fast.

I once had Ford Capri vents and Princess 4 pots and could so very easily cook the brakes with standard Automotive Products (ie good quality) pads.

Once I had Mintex M1144 pads the brakes were awesome.

Just make sure you keep the wheel bearings well adjusted or you could suffer pad knock back.
