Them's Ford Fiesta, common conversion in USA. Nice--- but you still need disc brake swivel hubs for it! :lol:

Dunno about new Ford FIESTA. The ones in pics above are from earlier ones, they will fit under 10s. :P

Forget Ford FESTIVA- it's totally different setup. :cry:

They fit in ten's? Really because 8.4" is quite big to fit in 10" rims aint it

Are they yours benny or just a pic of some you found?

That would explain it then how much do people think that these disc's would go for in their completeness

I'd forget it- none of 'em over here, you won't get parts.
In US you can buy these calipers rebuilt exchange for US$50 or so. :wink:

I'll say this again- (and I own some Honda ones)- if you want 10" wheels and discs, and no hassles, only 7" Cooper or 7.5" Cooper S discs will fit in there with any Mini wheel and give you no grief about dodgy fitting practice & engineering compliance.

12" or 13" wheels? different story- either 9.1" Hondas or 9.2" Camiras work brilliantly. :wink:

Down here in Syd-en-ey a set of Honda discs and calipers is around $80. Then you need to get the machining etc done.
No, I don't do them..
:idea: Ping animal- he does them up there in Qld, and already has Qld Roads? approval. :wink:
