Just finished my disc conversion on my metro trike
Parts used
Metro uprights
New 8.4 inch discs
New Saab 9000 calipers
S/H Volvo 440 caliper carriers
New Land Rover clutch master cylinder
Braided hoses throughout
New pads
2 8mm steel kidney shaped brackets to fix carriers to uprights
If it don't move it's loctited and I've used stainless fasteners wherever I could

hope this list helps anyone thinking of doing the same

Is there any way of increasing the braking efficiency of this set up without using a pig ugly remote servo?
How long will his set up take to bed in?
Don't get me wrong they work but I want the best brakes I can possibly get

Got any photos? Always looking for techy articles for the site if you feel like scribbling a quick run down of what's involved mate.
The Nova disc/VW Golf caliper set-up we use was pure guesswork, but seems to work. I'm sure it could be much more efficient but it does the job.
Without seeing your set-up it's hard to say where it could be improved.
