this is probably a stupid question but here goes. i'm upgrading my drum braked all around 1983 mini to have cooper S discs on the front but my question is do i need to change the drive shafts for some different ones to bolt the disc arrangement and hubs onto?

well ive taken your advice and they have been shipped down to an engineering company to take the hub nuts off!! as i called defeat after 8ft's worth of leverage did nothing but bend one of my socket bars!! havent seen one bit of movement from the nut after many different attempts (nearly got the welding torch out )
