Drum rear brakes to disks?

Hi guys,

As part of the planned winter upgrades I want to fit a LSD and rear disk brakes to my Avon. I have the LSD and during building fitted and removed the bloody diff loads of times , so thats gonna be a piece of piss!

What I'm not sure about is fitting the rear disks and callipers.
I have the "bolt on" style drive shafts but nothing else. Are the bearing carriers the same? Where do the rear callipers bolt to? The bearing cllipers or uprights? Can I use the adapter plates from GTS?

Any advice and pictures welcome

Cheers

calipers bolt to hub on sierra but if you are changing from drums to discs the adaptor plates just add a convenient place to bolt the calipers too.......easier and cheaper to make your own plates to weld to the uprights that way you can hang them off the back rather than have them sitting on top as per Sierra.
