Re: Ratty's first sj
considering the price of rear brake shoes, and the grief the drums give you, it might very well be worth it to do a rear disc conversion.

have a look at this, and you'll see what's needed for it, and the effort involved. a lot of people have done this conversion, and they all are very happy with it

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Re: Ratty's first sj
Having done a rear disc conversion, I can say that it's fairly easy. But...
If you want to get the brake bias correct, you have to use Rover rear calipers. I'd say that after all the fartarsing around I did, if I was going to do it again, I'd just pay for a muddyzook kit.

Re: Ratty's first sj
Rear disk should be pretty easy as youurs is a early 413 tin top
So it should have a prop brake.
Ive used the rob storr kit and it seems pretty good.
My friend has done the cheaper diy option (can be found on here)
And that seems just as good.
