Yes but you'll need to use 12 or 13" wheels unless you are lucky enough to find a moke that someone has put cooper S 7 1/2" discs onto , mokes used the larger 8.4" discs .

thanks miniman & sports 850
i think fitting 12's or 13's may be a small price to pay for the disc brake setup
also if it is an original californian it should have a 1275 ... am i right?

probably a 50/50 type deal , Californians also came out with a 998 and looked almost the same as the 1275 one . You'd still have a pretty good chance of it being a 1275 though , especially if it's got disc brakes as the 998 only had drums from memory .

A moke must be pretty bad to scavange it for parts for a clubbie. How bad is it?

You might be better off peddling it on ebay and buying new parts for you clubbie.

Moke bits are getting difficult to find.
If the Moke you are wrecking for mechanical bits is rusted beyond help, you can always sell off the rest. eg: Bumpers, rear trailing arms, wheels, factory rollbars and windscreen frames.

Cheers,

I am just toying with the idea as i was told of a moke for sale at the right price i am trying to get in contact with the friend of the owner to get his number to find out more details .. apparently the car has seen better days but i am yet to know for sure ...

i figured if its bad i could parts it or if not resell it
