Default dana 44 drum to disc upgrade

Hi all

I've just picked up a Dana 44 rear diff out of a 1980 Cherokee.
Hoping to fit discs.
Has anyone done this upgrade or know of any parts that will fit with minimal machining?

Cheers
Phil

Try that, bolt on.
Of you could stuff around for months fabricating caliper mounts, finding the right rotors with correct offset and stud pattern, calipers and pads to suit, then hoses and bias limiters etc.

Thinking of doing exactly the same to my Dana 44..XJ.
Have been told to use the setup off a ZJ Cherokee. Cant find a ZJ anywhere.

Cheers for the info guys
Ended up buying a disc brake kit from 'The 'Streetrod Mfg co' in the states. They had the option of park brake or no park brake.
