MG MGA - DRUM TO DISC CONVERSION

My '57 Coupe has drum brakes and a friend has upgraded his 1600 to vented discs and 4 pot calipres up front and has offered me his "hand me downs". I run on 48 spoke wire wheels, to be upgraded to 60 spoke in due course. In addition to buying the Moss or equivalent adaptor plate, do I need to upgrade the splined hub or can I retain the existing original hubs when converting from drum to disc?

Unfortunately the 1500 drum brake wire wheel hubs are a 6 bolt hub rather than 4 bolt, so you'll need to buy disc brake wire wheel hubs. If you have trouble finding them, disc brake steel wheel front hubs plus a spacer and Triumph adaptors will work.
