Hi Steve,

My rear beam has also rotted through, so I would like to procure one of your beams.
I have sent you a PM. Thanks.

Cheers,

Phil.

one circuit?

You have to wonder how or if it went through an MOT like that. Normally when the Metro callipers are used on the Mini (or Midas) a twin banjo type affair is looped through from one circuit to the other.

Mine is single circuit, but it goes through all 4 pistons.

Hi Manifold,
yes ...

Looking good Minipaw.
Have you checked the ream suspension beam, particularly behind the radius arms? Road silt collects there and between the back face of the beam and the body.
Hope yours is ok, mine had rotted through.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Phil.

Hello All,

Thought it was about time I joined the forum, as I had owned my Midas for nearly a year.
I bought my blue Mk2 off Ebay back in January. The car was described as needing very little work to get back on the road. Needless to say that turned out not to be the case! I will post updates soon ...
