The only thing mini I'm using is the shell, so will be using turretts, hubs and suspension from the cossy. Although if funds permit I want to run double wishbone suspension all round.
I want to run 13*9 compomotive cxr's but am unsure what ford type brakes fit behind them! I didn't know whether to just get some and make them fit! I just don't want brake fade on the track!
mk1 and 2 fiesta brakes are a common done conversion, there is a good guide on youtube showing what needs to be done
found it

although this is to fit mini hubs, unfortunatly they are solid discs, and not the biggest as they are commonly used to fit under 10's although i have seen it done recently with sierra calipers and vented discs but i cant find the thread.
i wouldnt like to stop a cossie powered mini with fiesta brakes though!
or you could buy a set of willwoods or the like, i am using the mini suspension setup so ive bought the z-cars willwood kit.
EDIT: found some pictures, dont know if they are any help, i think this is about as big as you can go under 13's
