Mine has discs fitted to the front. Nothing special needed.

I fitted front disks to mine with Citreon Visa calipers. I also fitted rear disks with lancia delta calipers. I needed to fit a brake bias valve to mine because of the none standard configuration that meant that the front would lock up too fast.

20mm vented discs with Wilwood 4 pot calipers, now THAT is stopping power, Just don't stamp on the pedal or you will rip out the beam from the frame head. :facepalm:
