On the other hand you can fit the 9" Triumph Spitfire discs with The Winners'
Circle or Peter May adaptors - use the MGB Caliper and MGB V8 pads which are
bigger.

The Ital 9(?) inch discs fit onto Marina hubs. Marina hubs can be fitted to
Minor stubs by the use of an Owen Burton adapter and a set of new tapered
bearings. Minor stubs fit into A35/Frogeye hubs. Mr Burton sells new
Marina hubs with the correct PCD for Minor wheels, which means the same as
Frogeyes too. The Girling callipers have a larger pad surface area. KB is
cleaning up a set for me now but is also looking at using the 4-pot
callipers from the Metro. Since the Marina/Ital is based on the MGB
mechanicals, it is safe to assume that the brakes are easily capable of
exceeding the stopping power of the later Midgets.
