Hey all,

Is there a Kit you can buy to make minis wide track? if not how do you do it? and is it road legal in NSW?

1968 Mini Matic converted to manual will soon have a 1310cc with disc brakes

spaced drums.

disc brakes widen the track also.

You can fit spacered drums (as fitted to cooper s and mokes) which have an inch or so spacer cast into the brake drums legally . Any other form of spacer that isn't part of the drum and wasn't on as orriginal fitment is illegal (have a look in the laws sticky in A/A+ modifications , at least that's where I think it is) .

_________________

The thread I mean is the top sticky in that category , here's the appropriate bit from there ,



Anything other than original spacer drum's will require an engineering certificate and may not pass so talk to an engineer first if you want to do something wild .

i dont think he was talking about dual wheels more like excavator tracks they would widen it a bit

Watsons do a major spacer kit for the back wheels to match the front when equiped with their V-Tec conversion.

Ooh those poor wheel Bearings!!

Sir Alec! we are not worthy!

I had a Cooper in the 70's with wheels that were widened outward to the extent that 165 tyres stuck about 80mm outside the guards. I thought it was cool but it was a pig to drive. The bump steer was horrendous. It makes the steering sharper but ruins the balance of the car. Constantly fighting the car unless on a really smooth road. Probably wouldn't get away with it these days.
