Technical Advice needed!

Hey guys.

I am currently doing my final year project at uni; an electric conversion of a small two door hatch. Now i am at the stage where i have to modify the rear brakes from drum to disc brakes. The problem is that i dont have alot of room to work with. The measurement that i am working with is 79mm. So i have to find a brake caliper that is kess than 79mm wide. Options i have:

• Find a performance motorbike caliper that fits and manufacture a brake disc.
• Do the above as well as upgrading the front brakes.
• Maybe find ATV or fourwheeler performance brakes.

I dont think i am confident that the motorbike brakes and the stock front brakes will stop the car as efficienetly.

Also a drum brake conversion, is it as simple as replacing and installing stock brake lines. etc

So if any braking experts can help that would be great.

Thanks guys
