The GT6 has been sitting as I've been busy messing up my Lotus engine. I've got the rear GT6 brakes apart and would normally just replace the linings and hydraulics but find of course that there is not much in the line of parts for these cars. Other than sitting for many years, I don't see much wrong. I think I can get them to work using the original parts. But that's not ideal.
So I happened upon this: > Rear Disc Brake Conversion Kit, TR4A IRS – TR6 | Good Parts <

I realize that the TR6 and the GT 6 are quite different but still wonder if there is any chance. Also wonder if anyone who has put one of these kits on their TR6.
I plan to phone GoodParts tomorrow. Will also try to remember to report.
 
Reply from Lucas Good:

"We don't have any kits for the GT6 and no plans to develop one. It appears like the unique design of the two different GT6 axle/hub arrangements would make installing a rear disc brake conversion a complicated process involving disassembly of the outer hubs."

A few yeas ago Kirks Auto Refitters was re-producing the NLA brake bits for Sunbeams which seem to be similar as the late GT6s in the rear brake department. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Robert Kirk has since passed away. His heirs seem still in business and I've sent a query.
I will pass along any relevant reply.
Grasping at straws it seems.
