Hi Everyone,

Just rebulding my LS1275 and have run into a couple of small issues and i need some help.

1. Subframe has taken a massive hit to the front LH side, i have a subframe from a 74 clubman, it appears to be the same and i was going to swap all the parts onto it. Questions. Are they the same?

2. Bolt hole in 1 caliper has been enlarged to take a larger bolt and is very sloppy, Is the outer axle stub axle bearing holder that the caliper bolts too the same drum brake set up.

Also would anyone have a LH caliper that they would like to sell?

Thanks everyone for your future help.

Ryan

Subframes would be the same, unless a hydro subframe (which is unlikely in a 74??).

Drum brake hubs are different to disc hubs, if that's what you are talking about.

Hi mate,

Not talking about the hub, talking about the bearing carrier/ upright between the upper and lower control arm. Easiest way to explain the but the caliper bolts to

If it makes not sense i will talke a photo

Just to confuse you...
That part the caliper bolts to is an upright on some cars, but in a Mini it's called a swivel hub.
The outer round bit that the wheel bolts onto is called a hub in some cars, but in a Mini it's called a drive flange...

No a disc one is NOT the same as a drum one, the drum swivel hub has no mounting lugs for the caliper to bolt to.

In order
1. The sub frames are the same. You often find that when a bang has happened that you can drop the old out but buggered if oy can get a newer one in because of deformation

2. A die grinder will do the job

When you say enlarged to take a bigger bolt I think of one thing to do with brakes. The steering arm to brake assembly has two bolts. They have sleeves that they go in, if you don't have a sleeve on one it would appear to be a hole too big for your bolt I think. I'm thinking a fair way back to when I put the discs on my car 2 years ago though.
