You can´ use them!
1st: these hubs have an angle of 17,5° at the bottom balljoint. Minis have 12,5°.
2nd: IF You use them, You have to look for hubs with balljoints up to 84.
They have the same taper 13mm.

But why don´t You wait a few weeks for these ones?

I´m not the seller! Just saw it by a fluke..;)

..many people in this forum use metro hubs of any year , you only have to change to the old upto 84 balljoints its taper fits...



Just for interest, where are you from, Mr Mc Farland?

Hi,

me is comin´ from the isle of the shaven heaven majesty..:D
Yes, You can use them, but not plug´n´play. Why?
The post-1984 Metro uses a different size top ball joint, which has a larger taper and will not fit the Mini upper arm. This can be solved by fitting a pre 1984 Metro top joint.

Although this will allow you to physically fit the hubs, the Metro suspension geometry is different to the Mini. This means that there will be enormous amounts of positive camber (the wheels will lean out at the top).

Some people (including high profile magazines) have suggested that fitting longer lower arms will get the wheel to the correct position. This may, indeed, get the wheel to somewhere near its original camber angle. But, this is taking a very simplistic view of suspension design. There is far more to it than just getting the wheel to the right angle in the static state. Suspension is, by its very nature, a dynamic device. It is important that the wheel behaves correctly throughout its motion. By using Metro hubs with longer lower arms, the ‘kingpin’ axis is still not the same as the original Mini. This means that, when the wheel is steered or the suspension is operated, it will move in a different manner to the way it should.

There is little point in getting into the technical details of what actually happens to the wheel, but it is fair to say that it won’t be as Issigonis intended it to be!

Our view is that the use of Metro hubs and longer lower arms should be avoided. If you do insist on using vented discs and 4 pot calipers, then start with Mini disc brake hubs. You can then build up the Metro vented discs, drive flanges and calipers without wrecking the excellent suspension geometry of your Mini.

Kann mal jemand bitte für nicht Facebook Nutzer posten was sich hinter dem link versteckt - danke!
