It's a Moke. It's not a Mini.

Leyland signed off on the engineering for the Moke with a 1275 and two leading shoe drum brakes.
They never did that with a Mini so it it totally irrelevant.

Yes, a buckboard would be considerable lighter then a brick so twin leaders would have adequate retardation

I was nearly pointing out that not all 1275 minis had discs.

And I was pointing out that a Moke isn't a Mini in the eyes of the law.

I bought my 64 850 with an 1100S in it and no rego.
Took it to get a blue slip and it passed the brake test etc (7-1/2" discs) and the paperwork was done.
Went to RMS and paid my money

All I can say is I have legal NSW rego. What more could I want !

You could always do the swap, then call each RMS until you get the interpretation you want, then get them to write it down sign it and fax it to you, just like doing your taxes
