You just need to replace the bolt for a front.

Keep the bolts and replace the spindle for a longer one.

If it has a quick release on the lower piece then you will need more that just a change of bolt.

That's if you plan to run it 'Potts mod' style. You will need to change the quick release to one that holds a cable, then change the barrel adjuster to a front one that bolts the cable

these are the one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dia-Compe-883-Nippon-rear-BMX-brake-caliper-WHITE-/200608276502?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb52f6016

These are sold by Pork Chop in the US bro. Contact Skatepool on Ebay about a set or Alans BMX. They should do both front and rear and in the UK  :daumenhoch:
