You cant fit the F2 discs to the earlier wheel and the F2 calipers wont fit the earlier legs, I believe, but havent tried it, that you can fit the complete wheel; muguard;legs fron an early one to the F2 yolks although i think it will alter the handling as i think they are a different length overall.
As to the rear by making/adapting spacers it should be possible but the F1 runs 530 chain and the F2 630 and i dont think the sprockets swop OR the carriers.

If you want to get away from the comstars i have a pair of cast Lesters(I think) for an F2 complete with discs,spindles etc.
These can be "hagled" for as i dont have, and have no intention of having, an F2
