I think you have to buy some brackets from ebay to weld onto the axle and then use XR2 front brakes and discs... But then you would need to sort out some kind of parking device.

Problem with a hydraulic handbrake is it could release its grip a little when they cool after a good thrashing so be careful!!!!

I don't think this system passes IVA so double-check before you go ahead with this...

EDIT: If its for a sevenesque car, bigger 9" drums are plenty good enough.
