Disc Brakes on Early A's - What solution did you choose and why?

well in the case of a friend that did it.. he changed his road runner to disc brakes and wanted to upgrade the 9" brakes on his scamp... it was cheaper for him to use the big drums on his scamp then buying another set of discs.. they worked well on his car..

That sounds quite reasonable. I've never driven a car with 9 inch drums, but 10 in drums seemed to stop fine to me, especially on an "A" body.
