Lori and Bill are so excited about Morris. They want the car to have the appearance of an original Morris Minor 1000, but have certain performance upgrades. One of those upgrades is the front disc brake conversion.
The front brake drums appear to be a bit "crusty".
After removing the brake drum, the dual wheel cylinder setup is revealed. The brake shoes appear to be in good condition, but it doesn't matter. This assembly will be replaced in its entirety.
In order to adapt the disc brake calipers to the spindle, an adaptor must be installed. Its sole purpose is to attach the caliper to the spindle.
Now that the caliper mounting bracket is attached, the new rotors, caliper, hub and bearings can be installed. The aforementioned new parts are for a MG Midget.
Tomorrow we will be cleaning and painting the original suspension parts shown in the photo to the right.
Stay tuned...
