MB: 42 Willys build up

[cj4a nz]

HI looking good
have been looking around to putting dics on the front of mine and the suzuki viatira? fits straight on behind factory hubs i,ve been told but need to put 16" rims on to clear the calipers andif going disc's front and rear the master cycliner need to come off a vechile with disc's all round or it won't work properly
as for parts maraton spare in aus has every thing you would need looking at there price list i got online the other day
looking forward to seeing this wagon on the road
ps have fitted 750 16 on mine the other day got another 1 3/4" inches clearance under the diff! they measure at 32"

fits good on the chassis rail,
noticed that your front bumper has a winch hole cut in it,you wont get a winch to sit down in between the rails as your steering box will be in the way.
unless you using some sort of small winch

Hi Johnno
I'm hoping the steering box will sit low enough for me to fit the winch above, just waiting for aftermarket mounting bracket to arrive from US, to find out.
Do you have any pics of your steering set up? Cheers Phil.

Hey Ian (flatfender)
I know all about your jeep, you took me for a spin, then I spent a few hours having a look at it! remember...
I then went home and attacked mine with a grinder!
Hows things with you? All work, no play for me with this jeep on the go!
Speak soon Phil.

Thanks for the info mate. Im looking into the vitara discs, if I find anymore info on them I will let you know. Do you know what caliper mount is used?
When you say the discs will fit to factory hubs, do you mean the cj drum hubs? Any idea if this set up will work on the back? I cant get my back diff apart until I make a puller!... joy!
Cheers mate. Phil.

Hey CJ4A NZ
found out some info on suzuki disc mods. If you're interested, let me know and will send you what I found. Just fitted solid discs to rear and vented to front (all suzuki parts). I will post photos soon. Phil.

Looks like you're making good progress Phil. It takes a lot of work but look what you get at the end of it (as well as an empty wallet). Lets see some more pics - especially when you get 35's on. I still think you will foul the rear wheelarches, my 33's are only just clear when it flexes.
Cheers
