I have seen a lot of Cosmics to suit a Morris 1100 stud pattern. (and if anyone has a spare set I would like them!

)

Fancy that, I was going to PM you Morris 1100. Can you tell me what PCD a Morris 1100 is? Also do you know what Tyre they had, I think it's 145/?/R12

The Morris 1100 pcd is 4½" as opposed to the Mini 4"
The tyres are 155/80R12. That is the closest tyre size to the original 5.50x12 crossplies. I run Hankook tyres on mine. :wink:

The Cooper S uses the Morris 1100 CV joint so I would imagine that it would work.
I have only ever fitted the Mini flange to a Morris 1100 hub.

Thanks for that.

So if i was to get a couple of morris 1100 drive flanges i could run them on mini hubs and redrill the flange for say 4x108mm pcd. mmmmm something to look into i think, im trying to run 4x108 wheel on my mini and seeing what options ill have.

The rears maybe a problem unless the entire flange,drum,backing plate would fit a mini swing arm.

Speaking of re-drilling drive flanges, has anyone had a mini flange redrilled to 4 x 100 PCD?

I had a look and figured if you used larger diameter 12mm studs you could basically drill out the existing holes larger and offset slightly inwards to cater for the difference PCD. ANyone tried it?

If this was doable I'd swap a set of 1100 drive flanges for mini ones...
