Have you tried asking ICE what the parts to do it 'properly' would be
- disks are the standard braking on trice now, and (dpending on the
age of yours) you might be able to do it by swapping some parts
forbits from their spares list.

It could also quite possibly change your center point steering by switching
to disk, which Trice is renown for (IIRC). If you are not a speed demon
then brake and bump steer might not be an issue for you.
