New disk brake conversion kit for tapered and flanged Early Jeep D44 Axles
Posted by Sparky in General Tech on 10 February, 2010
Finally a rear disc brake conversion for tapered and flanged CJ rear axles. These fit rear Dana 44’s and 41’s and some Willys PU and Wagon axles with Dana 44 rear axles. Available as complete kits or components only. The only machining needed is if you supply your own rotors, then only the outside diameter of the rotor needs machining about 1/8″. Anyone with a brake lathe should be able to do this. These kits use all off-the-shelf parts except the brackets. The first order of brackets should be in by next week, the week of Feb. 15, so these would make ideal Valentine’s Day Presents!
