Hi all
Just wandering if there is a different spaced drum between std mini and cooper s style.
I remember something about moke being different maybe.
If there is a different spacing what is it and does anybody have any second hand ones for sale?
Cheers

There is... the S item has an integral 1" spacer... There's a Moke one with a 3/4 spacer.

Or you can get one of the solid 1" versions and machine it down to your required width. Some ... all( ???) ...of the S spacers are "scalloped out"..ie lightened, while some are solid ... If you machined down the scalloped version you wouldn't have a flat face to bolt the wheel to...

Cheers, Ian

Hi all
Just wandering if anybody has any of these moke 3/4 inch spaced drums for sale or the solid type cooper s style that I can turn down.
They don't have to be in A1 condition just useable. Will also post this in the wanted section
cheers

FYI
the early leyland S mini with the flares had sold spacers, definitely '74, cant say the same for later
I used a set to machine them down to 3/8", so LP883 rims would clear the rear arms on my 850
