Check this out. A lot of us use his kits. I haven't got the disc kits yet, but I have bought the dual master cylinder and its really well built. http://www.dddiscbrakes.com/ toad

I used the D&D Kit. Very easy to install and Dennis is good with answering questions. All you need is the basic kit since all the rest of the parts are off the shelf at your local parts store. Dennis will give you the parts list and it will save you the shipping cost.
I'm using a 15/16 bore '77 Maverick dual MC. It works well, but everyone tells me that a 1" bore would give better results.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion
cool, so the basic disc kit for $289 should do the trick.
