I dont know of any good guides, its simple enough to do your self though.  Make sure you fit matching front brakes as well,  Rear brakes dont actualy do much at all, the front do the work,  Making the rear stronger and keeping the front week will un balence everything

hello m8 iv done quite a few  and i change the master cylinder the brake splitter the rear brake lines hand brake cable and front callerpers you realy need a good scrapy or a doner car and of course stub axels ect ect any ques pm me

hi,

i got the cables calipers disks axble stubs i got all the bits i need but... let me test my theory.


Very Basic Idea
Take it all off down to the stub, remove old stub and rebuild the brake system with the disks, we need to change the existing brake fluid pipes are they are fixed "shaped" metel pipes, so i need to cut the pipe at a good position and flair the end and connect a flexi brake pipe add a braket at a safe sensable spot and connect to the brake calipers.

That sound about right to you ? any help or if i have missed anything please let me know im itching to start this.

dont wanna be a kill joy but personally i wouldnt bother doing this if i was you, not on a 1.6 unless your planning major engine conversions??, if not i would spend my time and case doing other things that will benefit you more...
