The conversion involves using an adapter or replacement hub to mount a
Spitfire rotor then using a MGB caliper which bolts on in place of the
Sprite caliper. It is available form Mini-Mania and The Winner's Circle.
As this is a high performance conversion it would normally be used without
the splash shield. The splash shield holds heat in the rotor and is not
benificial from a performance standpoint. I have run both Pro-Rally cars
and street cars without the splash shields and have never missed them.
