   Hi, i have a 1.1 saxo and thinking about getting a brake upgrade.
   The front is pretty straight forward... i think!
   I have new omp hoses, calipers, discs and pads. They are for the vts. Will it be a straight swap?
   I am not to sure about the rear though.
   Because it has a drum on the back how would i fit a disc onto it and where would i mount the caliper? Also will i need an adaptor of some sort for the hose?
   Any help would be grately appreciated!!!
   Phil.

   also, could it be fitted by a slightly experienced mechanic, myslef or an expert?
   Cheers, Phil
