Lil 1200 - A minimum of s13 front brakes would be required and these are fairly easy to setup in the front of a 1200. There are many other areas to inspect when complying and engine and gearbox etc. Best bet is to get the car running then bring it to me for a first inspection.

Dion120y - There aren't any laws relating to a rack and pinion conversion, there is a code of practice but it doesn't go into much detail on a conversion like this. Basically everything should be as it was in the donor car but stronger. Is there a lot to be gained from this conversion?
