Yep...I'm thinking I may also add some pistons and pads and hoses etc yet though

how close does it get to the balancing weights on the rims?
i had a set of 4 pots that would take the samllest of weoights off and ended up playing with the tires turning them around to get them as close to balanced as possible.

Yeah I had a small moment of panic about that myself - but the weights ended up toward the outside of rim (further in, looking at that pic), so nowhere near the calliper. Actually one didn't need any weight.

Nice wheels stu

Nice rubber

This guy in canada does a conversion to vented honda discs to suit 10inch wheels. http://joltfreak.tripod.com/id1.html Its a good website too.

His words:

The great thing about this kit is that you retain most of you mini parts.You will get the caliper mounting plates that enables you to mount the 1984 - 1987 Honda Civic calipers and brake pads (which you still need to buy on your own) to your existing drum braked mini's swivel hub and the Honda Civic rotors which i will provide with all the machine work done if you buy the full kit he machine work required for the rotors are :
Bore the centre of the disc out to 65.0mm diameter and Machine the disc down to 7.90" diameter and Re-drill the disc accurately to suit the Mini stud pattern.4 holes 10.0mm diameter on 4.0" (101.6mm) PCD). The only thing that you must do is knock the studs out of your existing drive flange. Set up true in lathe, machine the front of flange down to 65.0mm diameter. Only take a few thou off the front mounting face to clean up, where the drum sat and allow the rotor to sit true. You'll need to get cooper S studs which are longer and a 1inch spacers. all the things you'll need to get is:
1985 Honda Civic Calipers w/bolts & pads
1 inch spacers
two extra copper washers.
cooper S Studs
The offset is the same as a mini equipped with "S" brakes. The reason for the one inch spacer is to ensure that the caliper will not foul on the rim. The plates fit onto your existing spindle (were the backing plate from the drum brakes fit) if you wish to order the basic kit it will cost $300 Cdn. plus shipping the full kit will cost $500.00 Cdn.
plus shipping.

Yep, that's right. 7.9" discs are the absolute maximum size which will fit within a 10" rim, and then only some rims at that. You need to leave some space between the rotor and the wheel for a caliper to squeeze into
