You will need caliper mounts and disc carriers to hold the brakes onto the rear axle.
Muddy zook do the cheapest adapter set...

Then you will need to use a different handbrake as well... and maybe a brake bias adjuster valve

Fairplay twiss. I was just running out the house to work so went for the quick answer with the view to expand later.

You can make your own adapters and stuff... check out our guide here:

You're supposed to have something like 70% brake power on the front to 30% brake power on the back... so it doesn't lock the rear wheels when you brake hard....

Standard drums are so rubbish they are half as good naturally, but when you put the same calipers on the back it makes them pretty much as strong as the fronts
