Rover Mini Brakes
The Rover Mini brakes system provides reliable stopping power for Britain's most iconic small car, featuring various configurations throughout the model's extensive production run. At Rimmer Bros, we maintain comprehensive stocks of brake components for all Mini variants produced from the classic Austin Mini through to the final Rover Mini models, supporting both routine maintenance and complete restoration projects for these beloved British cars.
Rover Mini brake systems evolved significantly during the model's production history, with early cars featuring drum brakes all round and later models incorporating front disc brake upgrades. The introduction of servo assistance and improved brake pad compounds enhanced stopping performance to match increased engine power outputs and modern traffic demands.
Our extensive brake component inventory addresses every configuration within the Mini brake system evolution. From basic drum brake assemblies to sophisticated disc brake conversions, we stock parts supporting all Mini brake specifications across the model's production timeline.
Front Brake Systems
Disc Brakes Front assemblies provide enhanced stopping power for later Mini models and upgrade applications. These systems feature brake discs, calipers, and pads designed specifically for the Mini's unique suspension geometry and weight distribution characteristics.
Drum Brakes Front components serve early Mini models and restoration projects maintaining original specifications. Front drum brake systems include brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and adjustment mechanisms designed for the distinctive Mini front suspension configuration.
Rear Brake Components
Drum Brakes Rear encompass brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and adjustment hardware for all Mini rear brake applications. The rear drum system provides supplementary stopping power while incorporating the handbrake mechanism within the drum assembly for parking and emergency stopping functions.
Rear brake components require regular adjustment to maintain proper shoe-to-drum clearance and optimal braking performance. Our inventory includes complete brake shoe sets, individual components, and adjustment hardware ensuring proper rear brake operation.
Hydraulic System Elements
Brake Master Cylinder units serve as primary hydraulic control components, converting pedal pressure into brake fluid pressure throughout the system. We stock both single-circuit and dual-circuit master cylinders depending on your Mini's production year and brake system specification.
Brake Servo assemblies provide power assistance for Mini models equipped with this feature, reducing pedal effort required for effective braking. Servo units utilise engine vacuum to amplify driver input, making the Mini more manageable in stop-and-go traffic conditions.
Brake Vacuum components ensure proper servo operation through vacuum supply lines, check valves, and related fittings. Proper vacuum supply maintains consistent brake servo assistance across all engine operating conditions.
Brake Lines and Connections
Brake Hoses provide flexible connections between rigid brake pipes and moving components such as front calipers and rear axle assemblies. These hoses require periodic replacement due to age-related deterioration affecting brake performance and safety.
Brake Pipe Kits contain precisely manufactured brake lines for complete system restoration or repair. These kits include correctly bent pipes with proper fittings, ensuring leak-free installation and optimal brake system performance across all Mini variants.
Brake Pipe Fittings encompass individual connectors, unions, and adapters required for brake line installation and repair. Proper fittings ensure leak-free connections throughout the hydraulic brake system.
Additional Brake Components
Handbrake systems operate through cable-actuated rear drum mechanisms, with lever assemblies, cables, and adjustment hardware requiring periodic maintenance for reliable operation. Handbrake adjustment affects both parking capability and emergency stopping performance.
Brake Pedal assemblies translate driver input into master cylinder operation through mechanical linkages and pivot mechanisms. These components must maintain precise geometry for proper pedal feel and consistent brake response.
Brake Mudshields protect brake components from road debris, water, and contamination while allowing proper heat dissipation. These shields require occasional replacement due to corrosion or impact damage.
Brake Misc categories include specialised components, gaskets, and hardware supporting various brake system configurations. Brake & Clutch Fluids ensure proper hydraulic system operation, while Brake & Clutch Tools facilitate professional installation and maintenance procedures.
