3A brake upgrade

04-08-2010, 11:02 PM

Since I enjoy reading about all of your projects, I thought I would share the project I have been working on most of the winter. I have been working to upgrade my Willys to disc brakes. The front was all bolt on parts. The rear, shown in the photo was a little more work for me. This picture shows one side as it sits today. I just need to run a short section of brake line from the junction on top of the pumpkin to the end of the flex hose you see in the picture. Reattach the springs, the u-joint, a brake line and bleed the system. Maybe a prayer and then see how it all works.

Thanks for the comments guys.

With 60 horsepower of engine, I need all the braking I can get. :)
