I converted to Volvo 4 puck calipers on the front, required brazing bolts in the original mounting holes and drilling and tapping new ones.  Later went to Formula 2 vented/cross drilled rotors, this required adding spacers to the calipers and machining up adapter plates to mount the rotors.  On the rear I went to Volvo Rotors and Lotus Elan calipers with the emergency brake hangers.  All this required was welding a mounting flange to the rear axel.  As the piston area ratio remained about the same, the original master cylinder was retained.  The Lotus calipers allowed the emergency brake to be fully functional. I will post photo's shortly.
