Thinking about converting rear drums to disks.

does anyone know where the original drums are sourced from want to make sure I get the correct conversion bracket, also any suggestions of donor calipers ( I have 260mm xr4 at the front)

Hi Mike, my son has this conversion on his car, and the kit he got was from a chap called Hans, who provided everything necessary. If you already have the 260mm fronts, you're probably best using the 270mm rears, with Sierra Cosworth hubs and drive shafts.

I don't know about the originals but I have a set of Granada cosworth rear disks to go on mine from hans 273mm all you need comes off the Granada.

Sorry, yes the rears are 273mm. They are the correct brakes for the conversion.
