I did not think about getting and engineers certificate nor did I think about the handbrake and assumed this would still be fitted. More or less like other cars that have rear disk brakes :).


Some (at least) cars that have rear disks also have a smaller drum brakes on the rear as well and the handbrake operates these smaller drum brakes. :wink:

Stick with 10" wheels I reckon :) minis belong on 10s IMO :wink:

ok,,,the whole idea of these is not really so much for the braking efficiency , more for the lightweight-ness

That entire KAD rear trail arm & braking assy is just so way much lighter than anything it`s wild

& yes, there is handbrake facillities fitted to the calipers if you look a little closer,,,

KAD have done their homework here & are a very well thought out & manufactured item indeed.

I would love a set of them, yes, but i allready made my own :-)

Don`t bag em till you know the full story, they`re HOT BLING STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The other factor involved here is that you would want to have an adjustable brake pressure limiting valve fitted in-line so as to be able to adjust rear brake pressure depending on wet or dry or dirt applications

OK?????????????????????

happy???????????????????????

Thanks Fuzzy Hair Man I did not know that. So you learn something new everyday :)..

Thanks for your input TheMiniMan and I guess there is lots to think about. But either way I have other things I need to do first. But the reason behind this query was they were something I had seen a while back and was just curious to see if anyone else had brought them :).

:lol: Cody so I guess the answer is No then :)...

BTW I didnt know you was into midgets so yet again that is something else I have learnt :P
