I want to convert my 2A with 11 inch drums to disc. Need some help with what rotors and caliper to use in the rear. Running a 44 with full floater conversion. Need a caliper that incorprates a cable actuated emergency brake. Any Help?

This is a good disc brake swap. I have it on mine but upgraded the rear to Electric E-brake system. You could upgrade the front hubs to disc hubs and spindles, ('79 cj) for a little extra strength and bigger bearing.

John,
I can't help with identifying the calipers you want, but I will mention that if you do the conversion and want to sell the 11" brakes I would be interested.

I went with the brennan's discs setup front and back. Fantastic performance! It's nice driving in city traffic with no worries about about stop and go traffic and buying the back of somebodies high dollar tesla or truck, cause the 11 inchers just weren't cutting the mustard anymore, just saying what many of us had gone to.

Installed Brennan's setup works great, no shoes to adjust, no leaking wheel cylinders win win.
Porsche 914s have calipers with e-brake cables that actuate the brake pads instead of having separate e-brake shoes. Phil
