Other than front disc brakes, what if any, other modifications do I need to undertake changing my mini from a 998cc to a 1275/1310cc? :?:

Maybe an "S" rear brake limit valve &/or smaller rear wheel cyls to help stop the rear brakes locking after fitting the front disc brakes

maybe

Good excuse to do the rear wheel cyls because they're probably stuffed.

Not needed with a remote shift box, but good idea with a rodchange one.
Put a thick plate inside the crossmember where the bolts go up through, so it doesn't tear a dirty big hole in the tinny crossmember... :wink:

don't go bigger! stay on the novelty of driving a car with an engine the size of a milk carton.
