I did a brake conversion on my car and investigated this. Any engineering shop can do it for you - depending on where you go it will cost from between nothing to maybe $50 a rotor. I didn't end up getting it done as I found calipers to suit the larger rotor.

I did it myself  . Very easy! Just about any machinist should be able to do it.

I get mine done for around $20 a pair at AGA Engineering at Artarmon... Cheap as chips and good work too... Rocker covers dipped in acid for 2 weeks was only $10 ...
