UK Jazz sourced rear disc conversion

Hey all, been away for a long time so not sure what the current outlook is on the rear disc conversion.
However, last year I managed to source a complete rear axle for my UK Jazz off a newer model complete with shocks, springs, discs, calipers, hubs, cables the lot. The original plan was to swap the complete axle over and complete the fastest drum to disc conversion ever, sadly I never got round to it due to other commitments (new job) so the axle has been sat.
Now the interesting bit, when I was researching into the conversion using official honda parts there was a lot of questioning over what parts were needed and what could be saved, as one of my rear wheel bearings went the other week I though the best thing would be to strip one of the sides of this axle and see if the disc spec hub would work instead of shelling out for a new one. The good news is the hubs are identical except the disc hubs have holes for screwing the disc to which meant a straight swap, job done.
The other good news is I now have the pair of rear discs for swapping if anyone wants to buy them, it will be a straight swapover and would just require the buyer reuses there own hubs and just doesn't bother screwing the discs to the hubs which should make no difference whatsoever.
I've posted this in this forum as I think it will be of more interest due to the information rather than just putting it in the for sale as a testing water ad.
Due to the weight I think postage will be the only downfall but I'll be weighing and photographing the parts to get a shipping price and so everyone can see whats included. Will keep the thread updated for anyone interested!

Right got some pics,

here's the complete axle as I got it

everything altogether

discs and covers

one caliper with spindle mounting

and the other

As I said they come with the brake cables attached and the abs sensor which just needs connecting to the existing ones (would have to cut the wire and reattach rather than reuse the existing ones as I guarantee you wouldn't get them off very easily!)

Let me know what people think and I'll hopefully get them on ebay
