Well, as I said, I'm not familiar with the 412 at all but the Type I drum/disc may fit or be made to fit onto the Type IV spindle. You may want to look into off road racing brakes, like those made by Neal.

Not sure which is more dangerous, lightweight brakes or adapters....

Personally I think well designed, installed, and maintained adapters are just fine. I'm running H&Rs on the back of mine and have had no issues. Redrilling is the best option, providing you have adequate metal.

Neals are not designed for daily service as far as I've understood.

H&R is what I suggest, I've got 15 millimeter spacers from them on my Jetta, their quality and design is the best I've ever seen.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that their calipers do not have a sealed pistons. They would need to be "serviced" every so often as per Neal's instructions. Although, I haven't looked into their products in over 10 years, things may have changed since then.
