Now that I am also a Bugeye owner, I've acquired a whole new set of 
acquaintances. A guy I met at the Atlanta British Car Day Show yesterday 
is interested in converting his disc wheeled Bugeye from  drum brakes to 
disc brakes. All my square body parts cars are disc brake equipped so I 
will give him the parts  he needs.

I am sure many of you have done this conversion and can tell us what 
parts are needed. My understanding is that the A-arm, kingpin, axle, 
steering arm, and tie rod are the same on a drum brake Bugeye and a disc 
brake square body and all he needs are the hub, caliper, and rotor. Can 
anyone confirm or correct that understanding? Can you point us to any 
tech literature/ instructions, etc that will help? Of course, he will 
rebuild the calipers, and install new bearings, braided hydraulic hoses, 
rotors, and pads.

Bob,

This can be a dangerous swap if not done correctly!   Here are a few notes
from Peter and Frank on the subject :

>From Peter C:

The minimum parts required are:
1. Spindle or swivel axle, as it has the caliper attachment bolt holes that
the BE spindle doesn't have.
2. Kingpin, as it is a different diameter to fit the spindle
3. The caliper and all its attachments
4. Hub and brake rotor.

But, this gives you an opportunity to use the best a-frame and lower
trunion pin between the early and late. The A-frame might or will have
provision for a sway bar that you might want. You might want to use the
newer springs if your BE ones are fading. Given the difficulties associated
with removing the lower trunion pin, the most expeditious method is often
to just swap out the Aframe with kingpin and spindle attached. There is
less disassembly involved. You don't even need to remove the hubs or
anything. Do check for play in wheel bearings first, and also in the king
pin and trunion. Leave the steering arms attached to the spindle, and undo
the connection at the tierod end. You also need to move the steel brake line
a little.

>From Frank:

What Peter said and buy new rubber brake hoses, don't even think about
using the ones from the 70 unless you can see a date code on the hose and
it is 5 years old or less.
Never ever use rubber brake hoses 10 years old or older. They all have a
date of manufacture on them, if it has no date, it's
PRE 1976 and will fail when you need it most during that panic stop.
Also I have run across disc brake conversions on Bugeyes where the PO just
put the disc spindles on the drum brake king pin.
The top of the pin and the top hole in the spindle are the same and it
looks like it works but the lower end of a disc brake king pin is much
thicker, if you just drop the later spindle on a Bugeye king pin it will
work but when (not if) it fails, it will be catastrophic.
Similar to the failing of a 30 year old rubber brake hose ;)

Be careful.

The steering arms and the tie rod ends do not need to be changed, but it is best (for the braking) to change the master over to the 3/4" from the 7/8" used for the drum brakes. Take a look at Gerard's website (gerardsgarage.com), He has the whole shebang lined out in his Tech/Mods section.

Let's put it this way, I didn't have any trouble at all putting the set of MKII stub axles and brakes onto my BE. Those came from MY MKII. I also had no trouble when I got a set of new/used disc brake stub axles and then put those onto my MKII. Everything bolted right up, I had no knowledge that BPSL had changed things when they acquired the production.
That's why I pointed him to Gerard's page, who, I believe, has it all spelled out, where I had only a spurious (and apparently, incomplete) knowledge.

Hi Bob,

Most of that is incorrect.

You will need the swivel axles, hubs, discs, calipers, pads and =
different hoses. Used hoses are a bad idea anyway as they collapse =
internally over time and can actually completely block fluid from =
returning, which results in locked up brakes. The king pins are not the =
same either, and need to be changed. Usually the A-arm outer fulcrum =
pins are so badly worn, the pin can=E2=80=99y be removed short of using =
a sawzall, so you will either need the arms rebuilt with new threaded =
bushings or just replace the entire arm. Often old arms are cracked, so =
they should be inspected carefully before investing money in them. =
It=E2=80=99s best to replace the inner fulcrum pins at the same time. =
There are complete suspension rebuild kits that will have everything =
needed. For best results, using a 3/4=E2=80=9D bore MC instead of the =
7/8=E2=80=9D one will give you reduced pedal effort as well as provide =
better clutch action. I can convert the original 7/8=E2=80=9D to 3/=E2=80=9C=
, providing a better an new master cylinder that will well outlast any =
of the reproductions now available, and is a bolt in swap. For this =
swap, shorter pushrods are also required, which I can also supply new =
cad plated ones.

Feel free to contact me with questions.

class=3D"">Most of that is incorrect.</div><div class=3D""><br =
class=3D""></div><div class=3D"">You will need the swivel axles, hubs, =
discs, calipers, pads and different hoses. Used hoses are a bad idea =
anyway as they collapse internally over time and can actually completely =
block fluid from returning, which results in locked up brakes. The king =
pins are not the same either, and need to be changed. Usually the A-arm =
outer fulcrum pins are so badly worn, the pin can=E2=80=99y be removed =
short of using a sawzall, so you will either need the arms rebuilt with =
new threaded bushings or just replace the entire arm. Often old arms are =
cracked, so they should be inspected carefully before investing money in =
them. It=E2=80=99s best to replace the inner fulcrum pins at the same =
time. There are complete suspension rebuild kits that will have =
everything needed. For best results, using a 3/4=E2=80=9D bore MC =
instead of the 7/8=E2=80=9D one will give you reduced pedal effort as =
well as provide better clutch action. I can convert the original 7/8=E2=80=
=9D to 3/=E2=80=9C, providing a better an new master cylinder that will =
well outlast any of the reproductions now available, and is a bolt in =
swap. For this swap, shorter pushrods are also required, which I can =
also supply new cad plated ones.</div><div class=3D""><br =
