front brakes

[mixbugeye]

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
have been told different stories from needing new stub axles hubs disc etc costing around 2500 from a supplier to just needing huds as the stub axles are the same costing around a grand also from another supplier
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.

Mick, I second Randy's' recommendation.
Come over into the Spridget forum, where this has been discussed in the past.
