They are much taller between the ball joints. If you do manage to fit them between the wishbones it stuffs the geometry up that much that they are useless. |

You can convert them to fit with a bit of work, the calipers will only fit 12" or 13" wheels a lot of them were used on mokes, cheap conversion when the 8-4 discs were not available as they are now. is it wort the effort NO. Les |

Are you serious ! If your keen on using the motor just mount it on a proper Mini front subframe and just use standard drums , use the money you would waste on 7.5 disks on getting the motor sorted. . |

I would save your money and go buy some proper Mini ones. 7.5" for 10" wheels, or 8.4s for bigger ones. Yes I have seen 1100 brakes butchered to `work' on a Mini, but these days IMO it's a waste of time and $$$. If they bugger up your suspension geometry or fail when you need them, you will not be a happy chappy.
