[Spridgets] Disc Brake conversion

[Robert Duquette]

Before I forget, there's a guy here in Ottawa with a couple of bugeyes and a
MKII Sprite ( or is it a MKI Midget? ) that is looking for the parts to
convert to front disk brakes.

I don't think he does email.

I can get his business phone number for anyone that wants to call him.  I
don't think he does short conversations.  Or, if you email me a list of what
you've got and the condition and a price, I can print it out and give it to
him.

Yes you can get by but a resleeve or 66 brake master cylinder would be 
better (3/4" bore for disc, 7/8 for drum)

A frames are the same but the king pins are different from drum to disc. 
Use the 66 A frames complete with king pins.
Get new brake hoses too, don't even think about using the ones from the 
66 unless they are under 10 years old.
