I've had all the bit to do this for some time now... old caliper mounts etc.
I have been waiting to try and get a decent kit with mounts in it but not sure I can be bothered now!!!
I'm gonna make the caliper mounts as in our guide... not been keen on the idea really with the new holes and a part missing, but I'm just going to bolt it up and weld it on I think
hmmm think i might finally sort out rear discs...

Thought you said they were the same as those? I've got a spare set of caliper mounts already so just need to drill the holes out

I'm not sure if you will be able to weld them on, aren't they cast iron?
You might have to go with bolts only.

Re: hmmm think i might finally sort out rear discs...
I used that write up when i did mine. Its all pretty straight forward and works really well. The worst bit is cutting the disc holders out of the old drums, especially as i cut them the wrong size and had to do it twice.
Worth it just to get rid of those troublesome drums.

I just got the local engineers to cut the drums out on the lathe. fit perfectly, perfectly balanced, and really easy, I definitely recommend them to be cut on a lathe
