GTD. Drum rears to discs.

I want to replace the drum brakes on the back of a GTD with scorpio/cosworth vented discs. I understand it's not a bolt on conversion, but is there someone out there who has done it and can describe exactly what they did?
Thanks

Simon

Thanks chaps, I already have a pair of scorpio cosworth calipers, carriers and hubs, just need to attach them to the uprights. Andy, will give you a call.
