    I have got to quit coming to this website. Every time I do I get more ideas. Already have my '66 cj5 down to the frame and tub. :D
    Anyway, here is my question. I'm doing a disc brake conversion and want to upgrade the mc to a dual reservoir. Does anyone make a side mount mc anymore or do you have to use a later model rear mount? I see the conversions seem to use rear mounts. I can make a mount either way, just would like to do it as easy and cheap as possible. Thanks

    All the side mounts I've seen are single reservoir and the rear mounts for the conversions are dual reservoir. The dual reservoir separates the front brake hydraulic system from the rear so if there is a failure in one system you don't lose all your brakes.

    Easy and Cheap don't go with Jeep (Just Empty Every Pocket:))
    If you can build the mount then definitely go with the dual reservoir unit.:beer:

    I have already started with a design for a brackett for a dual master cylinder. Just thought maybe there might be a supplier with a frame mount dual master cylinder. Guess not.

    If you design and make a frame bracket for the dual, please document it. I am thinking of going that route myself.
