It can be done. You remove the axles and take of all the drum bits, then replace them with the disc setup. You will need a disc brake handbrake cable. VLHERO is the know all on this subject. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you need to change the axel bearings to disk bearings, change the backing plate, also i had no issue with using the vl disk handbrake cable.
