Post subject:  Ball joints? Metro?

Hi All,

I'm slowly assembling my 66 Deluxe that I bought in pieces.
I have the front subframe apart and I believe it has Metro hubs fitted as the ball joints are screw in, sealed units.

I know nothing about these, but it seems there are 2 different types available and only one works when these hubs are used in a mini.
Is that correct?

This one says it won't work in a mini:

So I guess I need this type?

I've read about the geometry differences in these hubs and I have adjustable arms to take car of that...

This car had 8.4" brakes, so I guess at some point someone used the whole hub and brake setup from a Metro.
I have 7.5" brakes to go on as I will be using 10" wheels. Am I going to come across any incompatiabliolty issues wit the 7.5" parts and Metro hubs?

Thanks for your help :)
