Idly gazing at my car today, it occurred to me that there's a good half to three quarters of an inch clearance radially between the caliper and the wheel. I remember the original Metro used 12" wheels, which would have dictated the original disc diameter. Has anyone fitted larger front discs to take advantage of the extra space afforded by 13" wheels?
Did the Rover 100 use bigger discs, or did it continue to use 12" wheels?
It may just be an inefficiency somewhere on my car, but the brakes on my VW van are significantly more powerful than the Midas's.
