Disc Brake swap question

I was looking into swapping to discs on the front of my 62 swb that happens to be a 4speed and has the combo brake/clutch master cylinder. I know that I have to purchase a proportioning valve for the disc/drum setup but does anyone know if I will have a problem with the dual purpose m/c? Any help is much appreciated

Re: Disc Brake swap question

I honestly don't know if the original master will operate a disc/drum system, but I doubt it.

I sell a kit that allows you to convert to a power brake booster with dual reservior master and an aftermarket clutch master cylinder, and I also have a manual brake version. There are links in my signature line below.

Like Captain said the original master cylinder wont work a disc/drum setup. At least not porperly. Captain's stuff is suppose to be quality parts from what I hear and I am sure he wont steer ya wrong.
