Front disc brake kit for the Planar suspension found on the 48-51 Jeepster and 46-55 2WD Station Wagon. This is the first and only disc brake kit on the market for these vehicles. This kit was made by the experts at JeepsterMan. You finally have a solution to stop your Willys Jeepster or Willys Station Wagon. This kit includes everything you need and includes free shipping to the 48 contiguous!!!!! This is a very basic install and in my opinion installs easier than replacing the drums and shoes. This kit is a must for those with safety and quality in mind.

  • New 1″ thick rotors and 11" diameter, 5x4.5 bolt pattern just like the originals. Rotor is a 2WD and includes a new hub, studs included in rotor/hub. Lug nuts included.
  • New rubber hoses with banjo bolts for calipers
  • Disc brake mounting brackets and spacers, exclusively designed and tested by the JeepsterMan crew. Loaded GM style calipers, GM style pads, and all banjo bolts/mounting hardware, all wear parts can be purchased at your local parts store.
  • New bearings and axle seals, spacers 1/2" wheel spacers that allow you to use your stock wheels while still keeping the weight of the car on the hub and spindle.
  • Detailed instructions
  • Options: Extra Fee for steel braided hoses.

Note: This kit does require very minor grinding on the tie rod bracket. Our kits will work with stock 15″ wheels. If you are using a disc/drum setup, a proportioning valve is recommended, we sell this item and can help you with any brake upgrades. Fits:

  • 1948-1951 Willys Overland Jeepster.
  • 1946-1955 Willys Overland Station Wagon, 2WD only with Planar suspension.

Note: There is a $25 freight fee due to weight.

Wagon wiper motor conversion

The unit bolted right on and lined up with the cable assembly side prefect and has just the right amount of windshield sweep. When the motor is turned off , the blades continue to the bottom of the windshield before motion stops. The motor , switch and wiring are top quality. .

Disk breaks in a Willy’s!!!!

These are amazing!!! I have owned a few Jeeps but have never had one that disk breaks, the calipers are great and the rotors are heavy duty, if your in a Willy’s you need these!

Easy ordering!

Was able to get a disc brake conversion kit for my 1949 Jeepster. Couldn’t find it ANYWHERE else! Really appreciate the fine folks at “The JeepsterMan”…they’ve been very helpful!

Awesome Engineering/Weak Shipping

Very clever kit to fit a GM floating caliper onto the stock Planar spindle!

Order fulfillment/shipping fell down on the job as I was short the half-inch spacers, and my hardware bag was all messed up and required a trip to the hardware store. They also did not ship the instructions in the box.

I have about 200 miles in short trips and everything seems to be working well! The great improvement over the stock drum arrangement which was in need of a major rebuild; the disk kit really simplified bringing the Jeepster up to safe, roadworthy status. Technically, I am very impressed with your kit!
