Front break conversion and rear brake question

[Dave.B]

im changing the front drum brake to disc and was wondering would it just bolt onto the existing el cheapo forks or would i be looking at some fast ace replacement? theres a bracket there so was thinking maybe it would be nice n easy, another question is the rear brake, i know a few on here have changed from having the foot pedal to hand lever for the rear brake, how do i go about this for drum? is it as easy as getting a cable from where the it adjusts from the pedal?

i would say yes and yes, you will probably need to change the hub of your front wheel though and for the rear you would need a pretty long cable but i have seen it done before
