Rear drum to disc conversion(honda calipers), has any one done this, please share the pic measurements.

Simple answer - don't do it. You don't want to over-brake the rear of a Mini. It can be lethal. A well serviced and correctly setup pair of drums will do just fine on the rear. Spend the money elsewhere.
My opinion of course, but safety first.

+1 on that. Don't waste your time and money.

+3, please note that I have done a rear disc brake conversion, albeit a bolt on one. it is not worth the trouble. Mine is purely for aesthetics and because I hade way to much money to spend back in the day.
