I have just sold my 1958 Fc Holden which I have had for 4 years ,because I didn't use it much anymore,because I brought my '78 mini, 2 and a half years ago to go to work in, a 70 km round trip each day which is more fun , anyway it 's very neat with an 1100 extractors and jellybean mags, I was considering buying another mini with disc brakes allready fitted ,but a friend with a lot of mini experience (he has a cooper s lookalike), said that I should just buy a set of new cooper s brakes for my car because we allready know all it's history , which I think sounds like good advice,the car goes really well , I had new front brakes fitted 18 months ago , but they're not very good , and now I've got the money I really want the disc brakes, what does everybody think?, also who should I buy them off?, ebay ?, carcraft? etc, thanks for any help Tony

Just be careful, metro brakes are the wrong geometry for a Mini...
