There's apparently a guy on Facebook that makes the plates up but unfortunately I'm not on Facebook so I don't have access to the link

*Admin please move this to the correct forum.
His name is Ashley but I can't seem to fin his gumtree ad, his cell number or his facebook post.
However Dez (recommend suppliers list) also has the adaptor plates and can talk you through the whole process if you'd like.

Just do yourself a favour and have the either VW or Toyota discs drilled according to the mini PCD and machine the inside to fit properly on the driving flange.
Next thing is have brake hoses made up with the connector for the sub-frame on one side and banjo type connector on the other, do not be tempted to use the old mini brake hoses as the angle can work, but is not recommended.

So I got hold of this guy. He's no longer into minis.
He still had one set of plates left so which I collected from him.
Hopefully in the near future I can have some copies made then they'll be available once again.

We have a guy here in Durbs that's making them now as well
