Drum to disc conversion ???

[HSLDmark]

Doing an upgrade from 4 wheel drum to front disc/rear drum on a '59 sprite. Ordered new swivels, calipers, rotors, etc.... the whole shebang (or so I thought). Started putting the front end together and lo and behold I am unable to mount the rotor and hub to the swivel. I guess a disc brake uses a different hub than a drum setup? Not knowing the details about a sprite, I used catalogs for reference as to what parts I might need. Didn't see/notice any reference to a difference on the front hubs.

Anyone have a picture? Where do I get the proper hubs to mount the front brakes? Didn't appear that Moss or VB sold them.

FWIW - I did have the brake/clutch master re-sleeved for a disc/drum setup.

Thanks, Mark

You need the stub axles from a disc brake car. You'll need to find these used/from a parts car.

And the king pins are different.
