   you'll need all the brake components, flip out your Haynes manual and have a read.

   i did front conversion on my 1.1
   you need calpiers bolts discs pads
   the westy hoses should fit
   
   get the rear beam aswell and you can put the back discs on too

    Dont bother with the vt front brake set-up get the 266 or 283mm if possible so much better
