Classic Mini drum to disc conversion hubs

Firstly I have realised what a good site this is, after trawlling through other car sites many are not as well laid out as this one and some contributors behave like morons .

Hopefully there some Mini men on here, I am getting parts ready for my Mini restoration, I am going to convert my classic 1980 MK2 Mini from drums to discs at the front, I have got the calipers and disc's , who were generously given to me for free, I am just after the hubs. Has anybody got a pair for sale ?

I would suggest going on the mini forum, and putting an ad in the wanted section, no doubt you will get many offers may be even a straight swop from some one restoring an early model.

As above for finding the parts, should be easy enough to come by.

Couple of other things to consider, if it's a mk2 (I assume 1980 is a typo as this would be a mk4) then it had 10" wheels - if you want to retain these them you need cooper s discs or modified later 8.4" ones. Likewise if it is a mk2 it might well have different drive shafts / cv joints so check this with your new drive flanges.
