    hello and 64tina

    no need to even go that far MK1s also came with in some models front disc brakes as standard

    all you need is the front struts (legs) from that model car and they will all bolt up with out the need for modification

    MK2 cortinas are completely different

    Hi,

    I also have 4 wheel drums. I'm not racing or anything, just wanting a sensible upgrade / and avoid lock-ups.

    Are the standard discs clearly better?

    Do I need to change anything else (master cylinder)?

    Along this line, is the dual master cylinder compatible with unboosted discs?

    cheers,
    Woody
