Question M135 Brake Conversion

I have a set of M135 axles that I am putting on my Mud Machine and was wondering if anyone knows if or how I can convert it to disc brakes. I also was wondering if anyone sold lockers for the front axles.

I am not sure what the bolt pattern is. I know that it is 6 lug probably about 10 inch centers. I will check for sure on the bolt pattern spacing.

I think i am going to redrill some Chevy front rotors to fit where the driveshaft bolts to the axle and fabing a bracket to mount the caliper. Then removing the drum brakes. Should this work? They are M135 axles not M35A.

I think you would be better off using some m35 axles......... I just don`t think there are after market parts for the axles you want to use .......... I could be wrong though ..... Tim

The front does spin backwards but the third member and the cover can be swapped making it spin right. I have found lockers for the axles and can get new axle shafts. Not any other aftermarket parts I can fore see needing as long as I can fab up some brakes
