Mini uprights
I saw a advertisement on E-Bay from a private person who makes 7,5 "disk brake conversion for the Mini.
The price is 420 pound but he use mini uprights , are they different from the Cooper ones? |

From memory it is the wheel bearing, Cooper S uses taper roller and is much stonger (esp laterally)
Mind you I have not had a Mini for 15 years so memory could be a little out |
