Drum To Disc Question

I have a wrangler master/vacuum booster and swinging pedals. I use mid 80s blazer calipers and 77 jeep rotors all the way around. Full float rear differential makes the disk conversion back there the same as the front D30. I use NO RPV or proportioning valve. I can lock up all 4 35" tires at will or panic stop at any speed in full total control at any speed my jeep will go.

This braking system combined with Power steering makes my jeep drive as safe and easy as a late cj5/7 or wrangler.

 

I had 11 " ford drums in front and jeep 11s in the back .and I could always stop the jeep on crazy rock lines .like almost verticaland drums worked good actually . I think disc would be better on the street. my suspension is really soft and things happen

hopeing to do the other side this weekend and get the proper AN Fittings.....

 

59 cj5 jeep cut in half to make a 6
buick motor to ford trans to scout t case
cj7 springs.
front is jeep d30 with big bearing 30 spline carrier ,ford hubs ,chevy brakes .
chevy column,ford shock towers.olds ps box ford ps pump , ford fuel transfer switch ...

 

My friend blew his Dana 30 out recently so we are going to make a clone of my front 44 using another Scout axle. I will post it when I get to it. Right now I am buried in snowplows and broken 1 tons. Lol

 

That would be awesome. Not the part about being up to your neck in broken plows and trucks. the build thread part. Thanks.

 

well it rolls and stops .slowly .....needs to stop way better .....tomorrow I will reverse the lines ...if that doesn't work ill switch masters

 

I reversed my brake lines fronts to the back port and it stops worse .........so moving on to a bigger disc/ drum master

 

Do the math on the Master cylinder.............larger bore equals less pressure at the calipers.............don't forget pedal ratio.........if it's non-powered you need about a 6:1 ratio.

 

I ordered a master for a 67 vette with non power disc brakes

 

vette........4 wheel disc?

 

a lot of early bronco buddies run that vette master ,,,it's only $25.

 

Keep in mind Steve those front disc pads have zero time on them.
They will need some miles to wear/seat in to the rotors.
Drive around riding the brake pedal to heat them up.

 

Steve, are your pads organic or semi-metalic? Organic for non-power applications.

 

focker no I'm not pulling the floor up . of course I bled them ....
jim these are pads that came with the calipers they were run on the rear of an EB and have lots of life left .
mike . they are non race pads .but are wilwood .id have to check which application though ....

 

focker the master I'm using now is normal drum jeep .both reservoirs same size

 

so the vette master was gigantic and won't come close to fitting ...a EB buddy had a 1 1/16 disc drum master I'm gunna try that next
