Post subject:  Metro Brakes

Have I outsmarted myself? Doing a bit of research for parts etc while laid up with knee reco. and was looking at the "Metro Brakes" that I bought from a wrecker in England a couple of years ago. If I can manage to post some photos you will see that the top ball joint is the normal srew in type but the bottom one is like tapered spline that has another nut and bolt to lock it in ( I suppose like the steering column) The calipers look like metro non turbo, just big single pistons.
Have I bought the wrong ones? Does anyone have any info on these and would I be able to use them?
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Brian

You can get the hubs to fit. I'm sure others will know how.

You can use the rotors and calipers on Mini disc brake hubs.

Thats useless on a mini unfortunately.
It's the early metros that had mini inspired hubs, and even then the best thing you can do is use mini hubs anyway.
:D

your hubs are from a 100 Rover, called Metro in GB, too
