Keeping the 12" rims will be hard.

There are a couple of options available, but they all require that you upsize the rims to at least 13" diameter.

Maddat do a bolt in setup. I haven't used it, but like most of their stuff its probably pretty good.

You can try the sigma setup that others have done. Im not familiar with that setup but Im sure others can fill in that blank.

Even with my setup (custom hubs), I still need to run 13" rims at least, and even then not all 13"s will fit.

Just double check the maddat kit as I have one and have to run 14" rims to clear calipers.

Hi Peter,
 
The 120y or 1200 coupe conversion works okay, these have a matchbox size brake pad. The 120y post 1976 also had some of the PBR DB1045 (?) calipers which were a better option. This same caliper is featured on the SIGMA GE which is the suggestion aforementioned.
 
I had my templates copied to laser cut but have had a catastrophic computer failure and lost absolutely everything including the caliper bracket templates.
 
I am happy with the brakes however have not tested them rigorously.

As you know the 120y and 1200 came with 12 inch wheels standard so the brake size is just right albeit for a heavier vehicle.

How'd you go with the 1200 disc setup? I'm hoping to keep 12's on mine too if I can but will need more stopping power
