Although I was'nt the one who did the conversion, My monty Turbo has Rear disc's fitted. :cool:
The conversion utilises the MGF rear disc and 620/honda rear callipers.
Im not 100% on what the hubs where taken from, but am in the middle of trying to identify them. :confused:
I will be taking the car to MG Saloon Day, so if any one wants to take a gander at them feel free. ;)

Hi
I have recently purchased a Maestro Turbo that has been converted to a T16 and this has MGF 4 Pots on the front and the disc setup from a ZR on the rear. It was done by the previous owner Ian Cresswell who I think posts on here occasionally as TurboMG, he did the conversion himself.
The thread when they were fitted is as follows Clicky (http://www.triple-m.co.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2533&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0), this is on Triple-M although lots of the pics are missing now.
Its basically the rear hubs, discs and callipers off a ZR , the original hadbrake cable is then used with the ZR ends spliced on. The rear wheels are also more spaced out now using this conversion, approx 10mm.
Cheers
Sean
