OK then...
It's in the AE86, as I sold the 71 when I (by chance) bought the 86 and did the 86 up instead
I fitted xA6x struts just after I got it, and used those brakes with greenstuff pads for a while - not too bad actually, easy kept pace with that long suffering 4ac 
We had a UZS130 crown ½ cut in the backyard for a project which we're just getting onto now, and I pinched the discs off of that, machined a few MM off the back of the celica hub, filled/drilled holes in the discs (4 bolts not 5, but the PCD is the same).
The calipers are the mazda RX7 4 potters, which I discovered after I got them just happened to have a very handy offset for the job as well as spacing of the mounting holes. I then used a piece of 5/8 plate, drilled and tapped so that the actual weight of the braking is done against the original mounts on the struts not the bolts.
I do need to get round to getting the master cylinder bored out sometime now though. While its not quite dead cat feel, its a bit softer than I'd like it (although not half as soft as some newer cars I've driven!)
If someone round melbourne wants to volunteer a digital camera, feel free to come and take some happy snaps, or if anyone wants to come and take a look, feel free.
If you can do it yourself, it's not particularly hard to do.
