As far as i am aware, I am afraid there is no 'Conversion' it is a case of buying a new rotor and matched caliper (and probably a new hub and carrier) Others may be able to point you in a different direction... I have learned patience lol. 5 months Herbie build is epic - well done I'll just keep the adjustable beam then and resort to good old drums.I haven't learnt that virtue yet And my Mk1 Herb' was an upright headlamp, short decklid version, repairing and reusing as many panels and parts as poss. to keep the cost down... 'Sloper' wings and 'US' headlights came in 2013 and the long decklid in 2014 as i could spare the funds for the upgrades. Besides which, it kept my Herbie on the road... Your patience and hard won collection of parts will result in an A1 replica. Keep at it.
