No such beast as a 'bolt on' disc brake upgrade..

If you do a bit of searching, you will find that HQ disc brakes are by far the most common and cheapest conversion..

XF Falcon brakes are also a fairly cheap alternative, if you prefer Ford stud pattern.

Keep your eyes open & an already converted front crossmember will probably show up pretty cheap, either here or on that auction site.

Have a look on this site at Restorieds Commy disc conversion  (http://www.buga.com.au/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=2&topic=2954.0)

Its a step vby step how too

Also if you need a highway diff check out Restoreids commy diff conversion (http://www.buga.com.au/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=2&topic=2955.0)

That way you can have matching wheel stud patterns al round and great rim selections
