pretty please use the SEARCH button

its not hard to use & it doesn't hurt all you have to do is click it, and magically threads with wonderful information appear like this one for instance that is already a write-up on how to do a drum to disc swap...

Drum to disk conversion - DONE

i am not trying to be a bitch here, but the Search button blinks & says use me for a reason.

the reason I asked for the write-up because I don't know anything about brake, and I need some pictures. I researched this thing for too long and post some question how to get stuff already, so don't try to be smart *use the search button* with me.

That thread Keri posted has write ups, a lists of all the parts you need plus pictures? Did you check it out?

As well, Kocho has produced a 15 page DIY article on how to actually do the conversion, with exploded pictures from a service manual and from his car.

What more are you looking for?
