The conversion involves using an adapter or replacement hub to mount a
Spitfire rotor then using a MGB caliper which bolts on in place of the
Sprite caliper.  It is available form Mini-Mania and The Winner's Circle.

As this is a high performance conversion it would normally be used without
the splash shield.  The splash shield holds heat in the rotor and is not
benificial from a performance standpoint.  I have run both Pro-Rally cars
and street cars without the splash shields and have never missed them.
