Default rear disc conversion ? !

didn't know where to put this...so i just thought here and the mod's will move it if required !

i have an '84 orion mk1, and want to do a rear disc conversion, i know the rear's hardly do anything but it's for cosmetics mostly.

anywho ! where can i buy a kit ? or what do i need to buy (other than the bracket) to make a kit up myself ?

it has the separate drum/hub so that's not a problem, just finding a kit is !!


cheers in advance
