Can't find the post but somebody actually purchased the Wyckoff conversion and ended up going to a brake specialist because all the parts weren't there to complete the conversion. He winded up with custom made rear disc brakes and upgraded front discs and calipers. Have no idea if they upgraded/changed other brake components (master cylinder, proportional valve, etc). I do remember him saying that it was cheaper to go to a brake specialist and have them do it and he had 18" or 19" rims, so the replacement calipers had enough clearance. His PT used to be pictured here, where he had the conversion done: http://www.thebrakeman.com/home , but I don't see it anymore. His rotors looked something like this:


I should add that there is nothing wrong with rear drum brakes. Might want to install some metallic linings back there if you are afraid of losing your rear brakes in heavy rain/wet conditions. Or buy a pair of those fake rear discs to hide your drums.
