I'll do a ring around and see what i can find.
I've installed disks on the front of my 1000 coupe, It was a fair bit of work, but its worth it. I ended up using :
120y (early) hubs
120y (late) rotors (219mmDBA310)
Chrysler 'GE' Sigma calipers and caliper mounts

I got the brake shop to swap the 219mm rotors onto the early type hubs. Then I got 3 of the 4 holes in the caliper mounts welded shut,(make on of the original holes line up) and re-
drilled the other 3 holes to suit the 1000 stub axle. Then I grinded about 2 mm off the heads of the 4 bolts that hold the caliper mount (Sketchy I know). I rebuilt the calipers and put
in new pads . I haven't taken this thing to the auto engineer yet, so I don't know if its legal/roadworthy :) you probably don't have to worry about that in W.A. though.

If you want more info email me off the list, 1200 guys don't understand this stuff, they can just swap their struts and get huge brakes easy (lucky buggers)

it'd be nealy impossible to get an A15 to rev that high.

my engine builder warned me of revving mine over 8,000. he said i would strip the heads off all the flywheel bolts, snap the crank pully in half and probably loosen the cam shaft
bolt if i missed a gear.
