I have done both conversions on my TR6.  First the simple bolt on 4 pot, 
second the more complex machine/bolt on of the vented rotor versions.  
Will be glad to answer any questions, take picots, etc.  Doubt the 
vented ones are legal for our vintage, so will go back to the earlier 
ones when I have to.
