Hi
I need some help0.
In my Midas I have a metro subframe with vented discs and I want to change the standard heavy 4 pot calipers by alloy ones .They told me to take the Mini KAD alloy calipers.
But I wonder if this KAD calipers will fit on the metro hubs , I mean if the holes will correspond ?

The 4 pot alloy calipers should have the same distance between the two mounting holes as the metro ones. But whether or not the offset of the brakedisc is the same i do not know. Maybe they are not meant for metro hubs?

I would assume mini setups are similar to mk1 and 2 metros but not mk3 and 4
That is correct
When you convert a mini to metro setup you need the complete hub and all and i needed spacers between the disk and hub once i changed my mk1 solid discs for mini grooved ones which is why i think you might need a spacer between the mini caliper and the hub to make it fit.

I call kad and it works
As my Metro subrame is based on A+ engine, the kad mini alloy calipers will fit !
The later subframe based on rover vvc would not work ,the say .
