My brain was stuck on 'rear axle' and suffered a brain fart. Couldn't comprehend the front/rear thing.
Kaka occurs.
I'm better now that I've had a few brews.

Now if I could find some disc caliper brackets and 6-lug rotors for a 10 bolt, I could grin.

So, after all of this, has anyone here put discs on a 14 bolt FF rear, and if so, was it worth the cost and trouble. I am getting ready to go through the rear axle on my 80 and need to decide if I am going to refresh the drums or if I should go with discs. I don't remember my stock brakes ever being inadequate.
