A SKR or Zip fork in a smally is an easy and cheap conversion.

But be careful you alter the steering angle and caster massively. This makes the bike very very nervous. This could be an advantage on short go kart tracks if you are used to it and like it but it will be a big disadvantage in faster corners. If you are a Lambretta driver and think that a smallframe is already nervous you haven't tried one with a Zip fork!
You can also just use the SKR hub on the Pk fork and use the PX caliper bracket but you get a big misalignment of the wheel.
So best advice is to use a PK XL fork (not HP4 and not PKS) and the PX 98 disc brake. Also you can use the SIP caliper that is a little bit bigger.
You will have a small missalignment with that combination but that is only about 1mm.
The Pk fork is higher than the V50 one, so it makes sense to lower the shocker (there is an upper conversion plate available) and highten the back. Playing with these you can alter the steering angle a little bit to adopt it to your driving style.
