Hi all
i own a sprite mk1 and am trying to find out what parts are required to convert the drum brakes to a disc brake setup on the front

like all dont want a bodgy job but dont want to pay for things not required
im told this is a commen mod so can any one point me in the right direction
thanks
mick

Check with our friends in the Spridget forum. That's the one for Sprites and Midgets. Most of the time guys just locate a good parts car with everything that's needed. A '74 midget basket case would be perfect, dual brake system and all.
