Will the whole front end of a MG Metro bolt up into a mini? What sort of mods do you need to do to fit the brakes? I heard you can bolt the straight on but there is a problem with castor or camber or something to do with angles?? |

No idea what the Metro front end looks like so can't help there. The google experts will tell you the Metro Hubs shouldn't be used. |

It won't, the panels are different for a start! 
BL were cheap, but they didn't re-use the minis subframes in the metro. The metro has completely different suspension geometry due to its width and track. You can use the engine, and the brakes. The disc hubs can be made to fit a mini but negative camber lower arms are required. Even then, the suspension doesn't work within its designed limits. The far better way is to use mini hubs and fit the metro calipers and discs. |

i reckon the suspension works better kinked out slightly.. then it takes the turning impact better.. |
