Is this a safe thing to do, or am I being stupid?

I normally fit a full set, but I suspect that your rear discs are not vented but solid, but you can order them to match the fronts, and yes they are a different size, 325mm front and 280mm rear (and in your case Solid on back, but check before ordering

I am a pratt, I need to go and lie down for a while before I do something stupid.

How could I fit front disks on the rear, I forgot about the handbrake drums

Rears are all the same diameter (unless it's a V8) but there's a choice of solid & vented...................again you'd need different calipers to upgrade to vented (they're wider you see)

Keeps it tasteful

Thanks for that.

Do I need to find a specialist caliper manufacturer, or where best to get the correct calipers and holders?

No you just need a set off a 190.................careful though as I have seen 190s with solid rears.
