Youve beaten me too it, yes Andrey Kim on Facebook/messenger is how I've been talking to him. Very helpful bloke. He's made some videos about the hub setup that are helpful too.
As you already have renault calipers I would stick with them but just get some VW Golf caliper carriers like I did. You also need the front hub assembly from the spindle outwards and some generic front ABS sensors.

Hi Riccy
I've also found and contacted him on Instagram and sent an email as well so eventually I could get hold of him a few hrs later
Unfortunately, currently the kit is not in stock and he's unable to send anything abroad because the international postal services are suspended in Russia due to Covid-19.
And just to make everything a fair bit more complicated and miserable, I have lost my key for the locking wheel nuts....:laugh:
Possible after I torqued the wheelnuts I forgot to take the key off and went for a test drive.
I think, I will just SORN the car for now until the kit is back in stock and will deal this problem later.
Tomorrow I will leave the UK for a short month (going on holiday with my Toyota Avensis instead of the Suzuki Jimny) and come back on 1st Sepember. Hopefully I will have a bit more enthusiasm than now and get the car back on road again.
Forgot to ask: where did you find those videos? Youtube?
Can I fit the JB caliper carriers which is already part of the existing disk conversion kit?

Sounds like a good plan, at least you still get a holiday too 
The videos are on youtube, but he sent me some links on messenger. Dont think Ive got them still as it was fairly self explanatory once you saw it all.
Re caliper carriers. His kit is inteded to use the golf carrier and caliper. The holes are the correct size in Andrey's plate for the golf carriers 10mm bolts, but too small for the beefier renault bolts. They could be drilled larger perhaps? I dont know about the offset of the carrier either so maybe best to stick with the golf carriers and renault calipers. If I still had the renault carriers I would have measured up to see. The both use the same pads so suspect there isnt much difference.
