    gents, i am swapping in axles from a late model waggy with big ole drums in back and disks brakes in front... but the old 74 brake setup i am using is setup with drums front and rear. its got a power booster at the moment and i am wondering if anyone knows which master cylinder out there will bolt in place and work with those new fangled disc brakes.

    any info would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    I went to the napa store and found one that would mount up with a bigger boar size I think I went from 15/16 to 1 1/8 made a big difference.

    I made the swap from 4 wheel drums to disc's on the front. At the same time I converted from manual to power. I used a master/booster setup from a wrangler. It also had the prop valve that you will need with the discs. It was an easy swap I had to drill 2 holes for the booster to mount but that was all. Works great no more pulling one way or the other when you hit the brakes
