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
