URGENT - Brakes - Mechanic Needed

[kingfisher]

Hi,
my mini is not braking as she used to. The braking space is much longer and the brake pedal runs to the floor of the car. Is there any reliable mechainic/garage in Blanchardstown or Dublin 15 area or anywhere close enough?

Glad to hear it, remember that your Minis brakes will need regular adjustment and maintainance to keep them in tip top order, brakes are one area that should never be neglected.

Hey, thanks for the advice! Actually i was talking with Paul, and he suggested to upgrade to disk brakes, right now i'm using drums ones... do you know who could have some used ones?

Are you on 10" wheels ?

Are you going to go up to 12s or 13s ?

Hello,
i'm on 10. Trying to stay on 12 as i think it drives better with smaller wheels...

10" discs are not as readily available as 12s, and remember you will also need to fit the wider rear drums, with the built in spacers, to the rear of the car to widen the track to match that of the discs at the front, it may also be necessary to change the rear wheel cylinders to attain the correct front to rear bias.
