Anyone running rear disk brakes on their Sammy?

I'm running the spidertrax kit on my 88.5 and It works great.I am running a drum
e-brake on the transfercase.I also added a
russel adjustable proportioning valve to adjust frnt. to rear byass

I have done the same conversion, haven't put the proportioning valve in yet.
How do you find your pedal pressure before and after?
I find it was firmer before the swap, I have bled the system 3 times not much difference.

I've done it and love them...

For me the pedal pressure is the same or better as before.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Robin.

I would say my brake pedal feels firmer after the conversion,not alot just a little fimer but braking performance is much better and no more rear drums that need to be continually adjusted to keep a decent brake pedal feel.

OK although I no longer own a sammy I am still on the lookout for neat stuff.

My buddy was working on an early '80's Nissan 200sx (fairly cheap and easy to find I think) The rear axle had disk brakes and the housing looked damn close to the size of a samurai!!

Something to look into! I never asked where the E-brake it is could be off the trans. but I may be in the calipers too. If I find out more info I will post.
