Derek,
I did this conversion to my '71 and am very pleased. As I recall the calipers
are
from the 4WD gas pickup. Installation was easy. Use the later, larger diameter,
TR6 bolts to attach the calipers. The dust shields need trimmed a bit and you
have
to make up a new short line from the caliper to the hose. I found it necessary
to
change to 7/8" rear wheel cylinders to balance the braking. I bored mine and
made
new pistons but I understand that a Morgan Plus8 7/8" cylinder will fit.
