Are you wanting to retain as much of the original look as possible, or all singing, all dancing modern look?

ScootRS do pressure cast disc hubs based on the original Campagnolo disc hub. They do 2 separate ones; for disc links and for drum links.
You can pop a hydraulic slave in via the circlip or have the hub threaded and wind one in. You used to be able to buy machined Kawasaki AR50 slave cylinders that were the right size to fit with the circlip...I used one before in an original hub and it worked well. My pal has run a threaded version on his TS1 without problems for over 10 years. They give more feel than than the outboard RS/SPAQ/Sterling discs which can be brutally sharp and dive with only a dab of the lever.
I just prefer how the inboard looks too I suppose.
