Year and version would be helpful.

You will have to tap the upright caliper mounting holes to 14mm, they are normally a fine thread (1.5mm pitch) but I always do it standard 2mm so I can use caphead bolts. The brake disc back plate will need to be removed/replaced, I think you can flatten them out like you would do for the rear, I normally discard them.

The brake flexi will have to be changed, again normally they are a goodridge stainless braided item.... Thats it and away you go
