I used to make disc brake converstions for Landrovers and 40series Cruisers a long time back.[showing my age]
If these brakes are not on rails you may [will ]get a soft peddle with the first pump of the foot , the reason being that any end float in the 'C' clips allows the pistons to be pushed in to there houseings. I started with austin princess calipers, but ended up useing EE80 Toyota carola calipers which had the rails. I had to fit a HQ holden inline proportioning valve in the rear brake line to stop them from locking up before the front locked up.
