[Bratt]

I an rebuilding my mini and I need some advice with the addepter plates for the calipers I am not sure how to ddesign and make them.
Anyone have an idea?

This was before:

And this is now:

OOOhh... dont know much about Mini, and cant help you with the caliper question, except that the 1 series vacuum booster is very small and compact, so that could be something to look it..

However keep us updated with photos of the build..

Hey, I thougt the golf 1 brake system will fit with that design of the plates you had? The mini is nicely stripped now, haven't seen it for a while now :dropjaw: and please stay away from my beemer, I will do the paint job self.:nono: Good luck with the rebuild.

 

[Bratt]

I will keep you guys posted.
I am building the golf one brake system into the mini, I know someone that makes the addapter plates for this conversion but they are expensive.

This is what I have designed for the rear wheels so far

Wow, you have some serious work cut out for you there :clap: Good luck with that design, unfortunately I cant offer any help though.

[Bratt]

Jip I know.
Does anyone know where I can get deep dished mags to fit a 175/50-13 tyre?
If someone knows please let me know.......

 

[Bratt]

New updates on my build, I have finished the front brake adapter plate for the caliper.

Now I just need some rims, standard rims going to do a mod with them, have tested it already.(See last photo)

 

[Gerhardm32]

Nicely done boet. Now just to get the steel plates done. Good luck:thumbsup:

 

[DonovanPorter]

looking good :thumbsup:

Hi anyone please I need to find deep dish mags for my car new or used for a good price.
If anyone have that they want to sell or know where I can find some please let me know.
Or if you got vw standard steel rims I would like to buy them just so that I can go on with my rebuild on the car coz without the rims and tyres I can't go on with building my body kit.

Thanks

I wanted to add this photos, I would like something like this and its 13" wheels

Hi guys here is the mags that I got for my mini doesn't it look good?

Its stands out of the car at 80mm my body kit will be 100mm

Saturday it is going the stand on all 4 wheels so that I can cut my arches and start building the body kit

Will keep you posted:thumbsup:

 

[zaleonardz]

That is going to look awesome...

 

[Gerhardm32]

Awesome wheels for such a small car.:thumbsup: It's gonna look great with the bodykit and paint job done. Good luck.

Thanks guys. I am thinking of doing a black and blue body paint job like on the NFS games with the colours of my Kawasaki.

Your Kawasaki's blue is going to look wicked on the mini.
