What is involved in putting discs on the front of the splitty. The bay mastercylinder and power assisting unit is a bit of a different fit. Any ideas? I am thinking john shermans setup on the link and king pin front.

Yep I have gone shermans disc and you keep wide 5 stud pattern

And will be using early bay booster master cylinder with Mk 1 golf resivoir

Will not be fitting booster though

I cut the booster bracket of a later BJ beam and welded it on, but first I fitted up the booster and used the conecting rod of a '71 which fits perfectly (right length, later ones are longer). Cut the splitty master cylinder mount off and clean up first, and you have swap the steering damper mout to the other passenger side, then fit booster and connecting rod and when all lined up making sure the steering arm clears the booster when full lock to the left, tack it in place then unbolt it all and weld it on.
Hope this helps, I also fitted the booster breather tube from the Bay as well, same as in Bay, and also front/rear balancer from the Bay.
Cheers, Ian.
