Loved the tips! One thing I did that worked well was to drill and tap a 1/8” female pipe thread hole in the end of the plunger chamber to install the brake pressure switch. Removed the plunger assembly first so I could inspect and clean. Thanks for a video well thought out.
You solved my goof. I did not trim the mc bracket. I was puzzled why the disc brakes did not grab tighter. Took a look after video and pedal arm was hitting bracket. Problem solved. Love your content. Thank you.
Thanks! I’m glad you got your issue sorted out! 👍
Great video, it's nice to show how you made modifications on installation clearance issues. Where there's a will there's a way. The product seems to include everything needed for different applications too. Thanks for a video that addresses your particular set-up.
Thank you. I wanted to be transparent and realistic about what needs to be done to make this fit and work. 👍 stay tuned for a driving report. 😊
Great overview on this! Definitely worth considering for my own project. Thanks for sharing your experiences!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, I'm in the middle of this project and this video is so incredibly helpful.
Excellent! I’m so glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback!
Just got this kit, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I got the M38A1, and was just under there, with the new cylinder, and was like I GOTTA SEND THIS BACK! I GOT NO IDEA AND THE INSTRUCTIONS AREN'T PICTURES!!
But this. This is it. This is BRAKE JUSTICE! MY EASTER WEEKEND IS SAVED! Fricken Festivus MIRICALE! I got the T-14 and Dauntless, and just pulled that tiny oem master and CHUCKED IT!
Really tho, nice camera placement, nice explanations, I can do this now. :)
Awesome! I’m so glad this video helped you out! Happy Easter and good luck with your project!
It's Easter Sunday, 506pm CST....AND I'M READY TO BENCH BLEED NO WAY!!!!! It went pretty smoothly, a new round file helped open the frame holes, and used washers between the frame and bracket. Cut about an inch off the push-rod. I gotta figure out the proportioning valve situation next. I got all new lines ready to go in, and the shoes are springed up and ready to mount. Thanks again for your help!
Another good class teach..
Very good intel n Def step
" how to's " ! Thanks!
C ya on the next video!!!
👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
Another Great video!!!
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations Seth a shuttle construction goes too much well
Thanks JM!
Nice vid. Watching these I know I could work on one of those older vehicles. I do my own work on my R1 but modern cars are too much of a pain in the butt. I dropped a socket and it never hit the ground. It's stuck in the engine bay some where.
Thanks! Yeah these old things are so much nicer to work on. 👍
Great video.
Thank you!
I put this kit on a cj5 with 11 inch brakes and ran into problems. the M/C does not have a machined groove to accept the rubber bellows on the brake rod. I ordered the dust boot separately and used a clamp. its a jeep and you got to keep the crud out of the M/C .this unit is a tight fit. I also had issues with the drag link coming in contact with the forward banjo fitting. don't know why that is happening . the port casting for the rear brakes sticks out farther than the front. but a dual res is the safer way to go
cool mod !!!
sure would be nice if one of these parts suppliers could actually supply parts that friggin work right out of the box.....
You should have installed this kit with the L134. Lots of things are close fitting. I installed mine with the body removed and still had some clearance issues. But it was worth the trouble.
It is snug with the l134 but definitely doable. 👍
Great video! Could not have installed without your tips. Where did you get those banjo adapters for the front and rear brake lines? And did you have to re-flair the lines? Thanks!
Hi! I’m glad it helped. Thanks for the feedback! Those fittings came with the kit from Kaiser Willy’s. I didn’t have to re flare them. 👍
Great information. Half way through this conversation on my brother’s m38. Nice to know you can delete the proportion valve if you are going 4wheel disc.
What brand of tires are you using on this Jeep.
Thanks
Thanks for watching! I’m running Firestone ndt tires from Kaiser Willys
Great content. What brake light switch did you use?
Thanks! I made a video about the switch I like to use. Ditch that switch!

Can you share what mechanical brake light switch you went with? I’m going to be doing this swap with my m38 here soon and don’t plan to use a portioning valve.
Sure. Here’s a video I made about it. ua-cam.com/users/shortsI1uEaGjBbTw?si=iY7_vRbqeA-piTz7
Were you able to find out from Kaiser Willys what the master cylinder is designed for? I would like to know so that if the master cylinder fails while I am on the road that I can go to a local parts store to find a replacement.
I am in the middle of doing the install of this kit on a 1955 CJ3B. I have ran into the same problem that you had with the bracket. I also had slop in my brake pedal so I ordered a new pedal. I have also modified the shaft on the pedal for the plunger to give a more direct angle between the brake pedal and the plunger.
You referred to the brake light switch in the video. Since you did not install the proportioning valve did you put in 2 switches one on the front line and the other on the back line? That way if either line fails you still have brake lights. Or, did you put in a mechanical switch off the brake pedal itself?
I could well be wrong, but some of the ones used in the past were early Corvette parts. Like a late '60's Vette possibly. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in
Good morning, do you have a source and part number for the banjo fitting sir? Thank you my friend. Great Info and thank you for taking the time.
Hi! They are part of the kit. I don’t see them listed individually. Sorry
Thanks anyway sir. Found them on good old eBay.
@@tommyhare1029 could you post a link or let me know the proper size? Thanks!
Where would you suggest to mount the proportional valve and by the way, your video was outstanding extremely helpful. The installation went perfect.
Sorry did not get your question, it went to my junk mail. Auto Zone with my parts and found the right size there.@@Jeepmantyler
