Unfortunately the answer is no.
It's possible the calipers may fit, but everything else is different.

^^ thats right.

And from what I can tell, the calipers are useless too. (I've got a set here)

The Morris 1100 does not have 8.4" brakes, they have 8" brakes so the ad is wrong. :roll:

The Morris 1100 calipers are two piston calipers just like the Cooper S only bigger. So if they are useless the Cooper S calipers must also be useless (but on a slightly smaller scale) Unless you are thinking of the Morris 1300/1500 single piston swinging calipers which look useless but do in fact work. 8)

I think he meant they are useless for disc conversion on a mini (am I reading it right?)
