Stinkwheel Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 That is strange when cortinas had discsAlways an option on mustangs, chargers, Camaro etc. You could always have discs if you wanted, but standard base level was drums. Americans preferred low price over safety in a lot of cases. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk FakeConcern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inconsistant Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Ah, ok so would 84 have been when discs became standard across the Mini range? FakeConcern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_FM Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Renault 4s had drums all round for a long time iirc especially the vans. Interestingly the 8s had discs all round when many cars that size didn’t have front discs. FakeConcern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is right as 12 inch wheels were standard from then. I have lots of Mini books, but that's stupidly hard to find out for sure haha!

Inspiral_Mondays Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 My mum once had a 1980 Escort Mk2 1.1 Popular Plus. Being the Plus it was one level above the sack cloth and ashes model as it had electric screen washers and scratchy cloth seats. However it also had the detuned 1.1litre engine which wheezed out something like 41bhp as well as gearing so low, 65mph was a realistic top speed. It also had drum brakes at the front and suffered serious brake fade despite the very modest performance.
