Yes I've done the conversion, there should be loads of useable used disks around, they're nowhere near as wear prone as the modern ones.

It's also possible to buy just the disk, but you need someone that knows what they're doing to fit them to the hub, the studs just press out. As far as I remember the hub for the drum is different to that for the disk, but I might be wrong.

The genuine drum is not as bad a deal as it first looks at 200 US Dollars or so, (you should get them for less since that is inclusive of the outrageous Swedish VAT rate) As you get a new hub, new studs which will cost you 4 Dollars each or so, and a new SKF wheel bearing.

It's worth turning the calipers upside down though, I have pictures if you want some.

Regards

Pete
