Have a nice weekend

Welcome Fran,
I feel a bit more happier now that there is someone else that has the same colour of Mini as mine...no chequered roof thought!
You can see mine at > http://www.irishminis.ie/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3794

Re: Rear Wheel
Nope, no disc on the rear, at least I think so, is a 88 mini
I will try to follow GTM advise, the last time I looked at it it was 7pm and I couldn't see much
Below what I was thinking to buy if I had to replace all of it, would that fit?

Rear Wheel
Hi Guys
Last night I was changing the alloys on my 88 Mini when suddendly one of bolts attached to the disc of my right wheel came off broken from rust.
I need to buy a new disc now, what would you recommend? Stay with the old system or upgrade it?
Any website to buy it cheap?
Thanks
Giovanni
