Churchill SL15A deep socket?

I don't need to prove you wrong, don't quote aftermarket parts suppliers. Have a look in the genuine BL/Rover Parts catalogue, the taper was never changed until the introduction of the rover metro.
Look at all the people fit the whole hub assembly to the mini, from later mk2 A Series engined metros and they fit the mini hubs perfectly. BTW The Mk2 came out in '86, I now of people who've fitted hubs from '89 Austin metros to mini's and they still fit. Just for your information all Mk2 metros where fitted with vented disk brakes from this point.
And yes I know fitting the metro hubs causes wayward handling in the mini, but thats not down the the ball joints not fitting the tapers on the top and bottom arms.

Ok so you don't want to be educated well I guess that is up to you, but you are still wrong about the tapers

Oh gawd. Who even cares about the ball joint tapers on crap old Metros?

You two are arguing about a nonsense topic like a pair of school children.

And for anyone else ...... The following is the parts list for ROVER metro (K series engine variant) The 3 "marks" where Austin mk1, Austin mk2 and Rover Metro, as you can clearly see the Rover metro ball joint was totally different from the Austin Mk1 & Mk2 Metro's the Rover metro didn't have a top ball joint as such because it was a Macpherson strut.

Well that is your opinion, not sure if you have noticed but Metro's are coming back in to "vogue" they are fetching serious money and the last thing a site like this needs is people like popcorn who clearly know very little about the Metro but still feels like commenting like he is some sort of authority on them.

It's a pretty popular one. There's a reason BL went under..

Not something i would ever pay attention to. No idea why anyone would buy a Metro at all, let alone for any significant sum.

Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
