You are welcome at any time Tadhg! I work slow as it is - no one would really want to watch me take 1.5 hours to custom make one bracket :P

PM sent.


When you are taking pictures and writing up a very comprehensive "how to"

:D

I won't be doing anything until about the middle of the year Matty but if you really feel like you need something a bit more comprehensive done up I could probably oblige :wink:

You might just have to remind me though :)

<edit> you do realise that you probably wouldn't notice the difference on the back of the moke? The main reason for doing this would be w@nk factor down at the pub or a race / really fast road mini.

No worries. I've already talked to Tadhg about this and he sounds like he'd be pretty happy just not having to adjust drum brakes even if it doesn't really improve things any other way. That's the way I am also looking at it.

So what is the verdict on brake boosters?
I assume one is needed?
Is the mini (i.e. cooper) one up to the task?
alternatives?
Does the mini have a drum residual preasure vavle that needs to be removed?

That sucks :(

Surely you could adapt them to just about any solid 7" disc though :?

That's why I've been fitting RW Discs to my Mokes since about 1988......

Well if you insist on towing the horse float and 2 big lumps of "dog meat" with the moke then that is sencible. :lol: By the way how's the horse training going, keeping you busy.

Hi David,

:? :? Some Horses just can't be trained, perhaps they should be put down, as if let free, they won't be able to look after themselves.

How's the cannery coming along?
