Exclamation Brake swap!

I have heard that it is possible to swap stock disk brakes on a kota with drums. Ive heard that you need the caliper mounting bracket and a valve. Is there anything else other than calipers rotors and pads that I would need to do this?

Is it easy to do? I need rear brake work soon and if this isnt a nightmare to do I would rather do this than work on my drums. Or is it easier to swap rear axles?

I have asked bout this before in others posts and not gotten many responses but Im coming to the point that the brake work needs to be done in the next month or two.

easy would probably be the axle swap, but its not nessisary,
what you just described would be the way to go, if you can find
(or somebody can post)
pics of a stock disc setup it would help you see exactly what needs done

all you need to do is remove the hub, add in a Rotor, get a bracket welded on for the caliper and youll be good to go.
