Converting CJ to Disk Brakes
Hi all, need some expert CJ knowledge here. My '76 CJ-5 resto project needs
to be converted to disks. A buddy just gave me the housing & knuckles from a
'79, and a box of parts (rotors, calipers, hubs, axle shafts, spindles,
caliper supports, etc.) from an '84. I'd like to swap over the '79 knuckle
to my '76 housing and then adapt all the later bits. Simple question, whets
involved in using the 84 stuff on the 79 knuckles? So far I found that the
'84 caliper supports bolt right up, but I haven't had time to try mounting
up all the rest of the stuff to check the fit. I'd also like to use the
nice, new 6-bolt hubs off my '76 rather than the later 5-bolt stuff. Thanks
in advance!
