Dave,

here http://www.mgcars.org.uk/v8_conversions ... rdisc.html

shows you how to do it yourself but I've never heard of a kit.

Alternatively a reasonable number of Jag IRS conversions have been done and come with discs as standard.

Cheers,

Ian

What about Hoyle IRS?

Comes as a complete kit and just bolts on to the original suspension mounts.
Only problem is you need at least 15 inch wheels although John is currently working on a mod so that you can use original factory V8 wheels.

Ive just upgraded my solid rear discs on the MGB V8 to vented so I have a rear disc kit up for grabs.
I used rover 800 rear discs , Custom brackets, cosworth/sierra rear calipers. To make it easier I had to fit a 10mm spacer between the hub and disc so had 15x7 compomotive wheels made to fit with the right offset.
Im open to offers for the whole kit inc a pair of wheels but except the handbrake cable.
My new setup hs 11inch vented wilwood discs on ally bells with cossy 4x4 calipers.
