Default P100 cosworth conversion

Hi all
I'm new to this forum and am looking for some help !!
I am in the middle of converting a p100 to cosworth v6 boa engine and I am looking to upgrade the rear breaks , the motor has a capri 2.8 rear axel on it with drum breaks and was wondering if there is a kit available to convert to disks ??
Any sujustipns or help would be appreciated

Thanks

you can convert the Capri 2.8 rear from drums to discs, but there’s no single off‑the‑shelf P100 kit; people use donor hubs/calipers or bespoke kits. Common routes: fit Sierra/Capri disc hubs and calipers (matching bolt pattern/spline), use a drum‑in‑hat or caliper with integrated parking brake, or get a fabricated bracket and rotor assembly from a specialist. You’ll need correct bearings, handbrake linkages or a separate parking brake, new lines and possibly a proportioning valve. Measure flange bolt pattern, spline count and axle diameter, post some photos and I can suggest specific donor parts.
