steering arms

Post by woodypup59 »

Should a GT have standard mini steering arms, or are they S type.

The parts manual suggests that the GT has its own hubs, but uses std steering arms.

Colin , my GT steering arms look like normal Mini on my 78 year car that had 12 inch Devonos on when new... welcome to be proved wrong .

By my reckoning if you have an early GT it would have 7'5 discs and S arms whereas the later one was 8'4 discs 12" wheels and a standard arm but willing to be proved wrong

I have a set of S discs and shafts here that came off an early GT. The steering arms appear to the S ones.
