I think it is the calipers and pads from a 110 that you would need.

Are your existing discs vented or solid?
If solid then you will need a wider caliper however if your existing discs are vented and you just want to replace them with the vented/grooved type then they will fit ok.

you used to be able to get spacer kits to turn non vented calipers to vented ,but you may find new calipers arent that expensive now

I used a Scorpion kit on my 90 front calipers several years ago and it has been a great success, Zeus still sell them and I am sure there will be others. As James has already said however, the price of calipers has come down so much in recent years that it might not be worth the bother.

I used spacers/bolts from rotton old siezed calipiers from a RRC.

They shouldnt be that hard to pick up and a lot cheaper than a spacer kit.
