Changing from Drums to Discs
To go from rear sierra drums to discs, what are my options? How is it done? I'd prefer it if there was a way other than using the adaptor
plates, they seem like a bit of a crude solution

Shafts from a disc car? Hubs have the lugs for caliper carriers..
Try the breakers...
