Vehicle Info: 1969 Kaiser Jeep M715, with a 6.9L diesel engine and T-19 transmission the rest is stock.

I have recently purchased a disc brake conversion from helitool (uglytruckling.com) and I was really wanting a power brakes setup. So does anyone know what kinda master cylinder will work, i am gonna prolly keep the rear brakes stock, but the front will be disc.

Also is there a power steering conversion for the m715?

Pics would be great also!
Any and All help is greatly appriciated!!
thanks,
Dave

Keep it simple and get the stuff from a J20 or J30 Jeep pickup. Better chance of getting stuff to bolt up. I'm putting the brakes system off of my '74 W200 dodge and it is definately not a bolt up deal. I'm going to have to do a little figuring to get the pushrod length right. Check over at www.m715zone.com It's been done many times in probably 1000 different ways.

www.m715zone.com Lots of answers. Power steering, I used one from a 80's camero, works great, direct bolt up. Any of the GM, Jeep, ect that bolt to the inside of the frame, they are the same. Master cylender was from a 74 or 76 vet, can't find the post right now. I kept stock breaks so need same presure to both front and rear. With disk up front I think you could get a master from any truck or car that runs disk / drum and it would work. I also used a booster, will lock up braks if you stuff them.

I think I use a newer chev booster off of a pickup and the corvette master. I would have used the pickup master too but it was for disk / drum and I need one for drum / drum. Too lazy to get and adjustable block and work out the presures. If you are going Disk / Drum most any will work. I have a buddy with a junk yard so I looked until I found a smaller booster that would not have clerance issues and used that. I also got a mount block from a Jeep Wageneer, goes between the booster and fire wall to help with mounting. Had to make a push rod from peddel to boostr and was done. Go over to the M715zone and ask. If it is 5/4 questions that is the place to ask.

If you don't have a good vacuum source on that diesel, go with a hydroboost setup off a chevy truck. Grab the p/s pump while you're there so you don't have to mod another pump for that extra fluid line you'll need.
