I am wondering if any one has done a disc brake conversion n their M38.
And how did the conversion go. What were problems you encountered if any.
Was there a specific conversion kit that you used.

Re: Disc brake conversion
That is an extremely unusual conversion for a stock M38 which left Willys with more then adequate quality/performance brakes originally. On the other hand if you have increased horse power/Torque significantly and top highway speed then it would offer a little better improvement.
