'47 CJ-2A: Just upgrade rear brakes to disc?

[5JeepsAz]

Very awesome. The next thing bmorgil will tell you is get a vacuum cannisters. Then when you get one it's the size of a pony keg. Yep, you'll do that too at some point. Resto is the best-o. Lol it's all good! Happy you went for better braking. Post some pics of your build progress!

AZ, a "pony keg"? oh come now it's not that bad! Besides it keeps you from doing the "stop light 3 pedal shuffle" when there are innocent bystanders around.

Richard, AZ is referring to a vacuum reservoir can with a one way valve. AZ is right I would suggest it if you are installing vacuum POWER assisted brakes. The little 134 doesn't have enough vacuum to run them on its own (and neither does AZ's 6cyl). That said on the little CJ3A it will throw you out of the saddle with un-assisted front disc brakes. I would go with manual discs. On a pickup the vacuum assist is nice, but I don't think a 3A will need much help stopping with front discs.
