The simple conversion is only for disc wheel cars. I have a friend who did
the conversion on his car. It uses machined hub adapters, MGB rotors, and
Spitfire calipers. I have a pair of hub adapters for a big brake
conversion if someone is interested.
There are some clearance issues with the tie rod ends, envolving some
ginding to fit. I believe he had to machine down the top inside of the
rotor just a bit.
Daniel mentioned a source in England that has done a wire wheel car.
different parts involved.
