if you have 7x13 wheels you can fit an easily sourced kit from here
http://www.caprisport.com/

princess calipers are getting thin on the ground now, I was lucky several years ago I got hold of a turbo technics brake upgrade using the same ap calipers as the princess but internally modified to accept only one inlet hose not 2 as the princess, they work a treat on my 100E

Imo the caprisport brakes are your best option. This setup was fitted on my old ossie powered mk2 escort and they worked very well. You wont found a better setup for the money. I worked with Neil from caprisport years ago so was lucky enough to go out in some of the cars he built on track days and not once did the brakes let him down.
