How do you tell the difference between the two?

Put a photo up.

The difference isn't all that obvious if the balljoints have been swapped, if they still have the metro ones then you'll know.
All minis (drum and disc) had the same balljoints.

I put some metro ones one ebay...
and a set of normal ones, compare the photos and you will see the difference in the ball joints.
also the metro ones are more desired on race cars. slightly changes some of the suspension angles

I think there`s a difference in the steering arms & their mounting bolts & dowels too... correct me if i`m wrong Steve but arn`t the metro steering arms longer & have larger diam bolts & dowels than the mini ones???


EDIT---> Oh!!! by the way, while were on the subject,,, i`m in need of a right hand "Metro" steering arm if anyone can help ????

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

only slightly you say.............

this might be normal but I thought it was weird. I have 8.4 discs on the minwah and the bolt holes to the hubs are different sizes on the two different sides.

I would like to know if mini or metro also, anyone know some numbers that might be cast on them or something?


Ohh and saw these 8.4 disks on ebay. Brickworks stuff.
