Whats your location?: ballinteer near dundrum dublin 16

need to upgrade the brakes on my '78 mini clubman from drum to disc.
anybody out there have 7.5 inch callipers /discs/hubs for sale to go under 10 inch wheels.
have checked on e bay etc..but they seems very expensive.
also, have heard that ford fiesta mark 1 discs and callipers can be used with modification.
ahas anybody done this..and what is the general opinion.
tks

The cheapest way is to buy a set of 12inch complete brakes and then get the 12 to 10 conversion. I have a set of complete 12inch brakes that I took off a mini I scrapped.
