can any body tell me if 13" wheels will fit over standard sierra rear disc brakes on an mk indy

thanks des

Entirely depends on which 13" wheels you want to fit. The clearances on those that will fit will be small. Sorry don't have an indy so can't give you any pointers on wheels that have been succesfully used. Sometimes its a case of taking a smidgen off the calipers with a grinder, it can make all the difference. Wheel offset also comes into play.

some do....

Not much help, the minilights I have do fit, although I had to grind a bit of the caliper away, tried some rostyles, not even near.

I can only suggest you try before you buy.

Mine came off a cateringvan originally.

cxr's will fit over sierra rear calipers with a slight tweak to the mech on the caliper

a lot of the RGB boys use compomotive CXR's. Nice and light too without being overly expensive

Hello,
I have standard Sierra discs/calipers etc on the rear of my mini, not an MK I know, but it is a sierra disk setup with 13" wheels, the wheels are 13*6 KN Minators supplield by MWS and I think the ET is 6.
I have a 6mm hub centric spacers on the rear to allow the handbrake lever to clear the rim, some people just bend the lever down to clear

Cheers

There is good clearance between the caliper and wheel I can get my fingers in and there is no problem with wheel weights

Cheers

I'm using 13" Wellers on my rear sierra hubs, a tiny amount of grinding will be necessary.

Or do what I did and use the nice shiny alloy handbrake calipers from Hi-Spec and no grinding in necessary. They easily fit under my 13" wheels and are light as a feather.

13x6 Compomotive revolutions do not fit.

Even with lots of grinding and stuff it is all too close unless you use big (>10mm) spacers.

I ended up going with Escort Mk4 front (non-vent) brake disks, taking a bit off the hub radius, and making a new caliper bracket. It fits nicely now. This seems to be a fairly standard modification.
