Looking for "breaks"

I am looking for a disc brake conversion for a 59 sprite. If you have any parts that you think might work or can lead me to someone, it would be appreciated. I am also looking for a 5/8 swaybar for the front with solid mounts. Lastly, I am looking for lowered front springs and a tube shock addition. Thoughts about the conversion, process, and/or leads to where I can get this stuff--cheers!!
 
If you are in southern Indiana, Call Roger in New Albany at 812-945-1581. He has several midgets that he is parting out (amongst other cars).
 
The front end from any newer Spridget will fit your Frog.
Hunt E-bay for a parts car or the front suspension parts. The newer A-arms also have the correct drilled, reinforced hole for a sway bar (your's may not).
Don't forget that you can swap the master cylinder too (and have a safer dual system).
For some ideas on the tube shock conversion, go here:

For the rear lever shocks, use the same units as in the above link and flip the lower leaf spring retaining plate...this will be your lower shock mount. Drill a hole near the upper retaining strap mount for an upper shock mounting bolt.
 
There is a british car show/swap/rally/tech sessions this weekend in Indy.
