| Post subject: | Cooper S Disc Brakes!!! Finally! |
YAY! I have in my hot little hands my very own set of Cooper S 7.5inch disc brakes, CVs, Hubs and all! Finally! Sorry for the useless post but I am so excited, it's only been an agonising 12 months searching for them!  I am one step closer to finally rebuilding that dream 1360cc 
Can't tell you who and can't tell you price, but can tell you they are in tip top shape and I got it for a very good deal

Mmmm one day when I get hondas fitted i'll know what mini feels like with discs. Have no idea what it feels like to be able to stop properly. Hell I don't even know what a 1275 engine feels like. Shard |

Yeah if you are running bigger wheels, run big brakes like hondas etc. For me, 10 inches is all have have and all i want

I checked them out this arvo.
They need new seals, pistons, C/Vs, and the drive flanges faced to clean up. Bearings may be OK after a repack. Rotors are on the wear limit, but are fresh. He'll get a year or 2 out of them. 
Chong also now knows what a modified 1360 feels like...

Mick, They were machined just before it was parked, but are now on bottom limit, 8.0mm. Can't machine any more. They are flat and parallel.
Be OK for a set of pads or 2. I gave him some NOS UK pads to get it rolling.

hutto wrote: thats what i want! even fit under 10" wheels Yeah I'd check what wheels, first.. Today boostedmini and I tried both offset Contessas on his MiniSpares 7.5" ventilated 4 pots.. Neither will fit.... 
And also note the MiniSport UK alloy billet ones (in your pic?) are known for flexing...
