Has anyone who has fitted Midget disks to their Minor ever considered fitting Wire wheel disks to the standard Midget hubs? This would move the disk about 25mm further outboard and allow the calliper bracket to be outboard of the suspension leg so that all 4 fixing holes could be used.

Do you mean like this?.......

An interesting look and certainly an option in period, if you sourced the parts yourself to complete the conversion.
But do they suit a Morris Minor?..........
Best wishes,
Mike.

No, I'm thinking of using the standard steel wheel hubs which I have fitted at the moment.
The main problem with Midget disks is that they fit so close to the suspension the calliper fixing bracket has to be inboard of the 4 hole backplate fixing. Using the wire wheel disks and the steel wheel hub may allow a calliper fixing bracket to be mounted outboard of the 4 hole fixing bracket.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this before I start fabricating brackets.

The disk on the left is for steel wheels the disk on the right is for wire wheels when fitted to a midget. The only difference is the hight.
