Kits are made to order. As stated beforehand, thanks to people who previously ordered then changed their minds, nothing will done until all money is paid. This includes info as to what is needed because people need to realise that businesses are not charities.
Can you please send me a PM on what is required.
Payment of money isn’t an issue. :D

I'm lead to believe that Florain brakes bolt onto a Bellett? Assuming this info is correct, I assume the kit would bolt onto a Florian.
But I will never give any guarantee of that, nor will the supplier, unless a Florain is offered for testing and approval purposes.
Glenn: will not fit a GT hub. They're totally different. A GT will need converting to sedan drum hubs.
Finally, I will not be giving info on what donor car parts are needed to anyone who doesn't want to pay, so those who are.... stop asking. Again, decent money has been invested in this conversion and people seem to think that the business that has done so is a charity that will just willingly give up info because the end user doesn't want to pay but still wants the benefits. You get nothing for nothing in life and this is no different.
I have to admit that I'm surprised that only 3 kits have ever been delivered. I would have thought Bellett people would see the advantages of having excellent quality disc brakes for the safety aspect alone, not to mention the ongoing ease of parts when many Bellett specific parts are getting much harder to locate and having a simple kit that bolts on in an afternoon that is all engineered and approved that also means not having to change wheels as a result would have been much greater received.

Thanks Brett

While I haven't driven a car with these disks I have seen the conversion and it's very professional.
