    It can be done, I know because I've seen it. I think they were a kit off an old school Mini or something.

    Didn't do the car much good mind. I saw the car in a scrappy, with the steering wheel sticking out the sunroof.

    Not. Good. At. All.

    my guess it a metro turbo, as they used 4 pot calipers.

    also austin princess/ambassador used em too.

    First post!

    Didn't Willwood do a 4 pot kit with 255mm dia discs that fit under 13" wheels? Porbably not made anymore so you'd have to find a used set. Try Willwood anyway.

    you might struggle to get anything other than a single pot sliding caliper under a standard steel wheel. There just isn't enough space for the pistons on the outside. Have a measure how much space you have between the disk face and the wheel, then look at some caliper drawings.
