Those dimensions especially the 290mm sound right &all have the same offset & that is very important.

RH on everything. LH is not needed.

Hello
i just finish to day to install the brakes conversion.Only on the front,rear i have drum. In first time i have removed the residual valve in the master cylinder but i bleed the brakes and the brake pedal is not good , to far . I remove the master cylinder ,i put inside the pvr, new bleed the brake and now the pedal is good.its a little difficult to turn rotor with my hand .Tomorrow morning i try on the road. I understand that you remove the valve with 4 rotor brakes but with only the front what the good solution?

There are in-line pressure residual valves that you can plumb into the front or rear brake line. 2 psi for disc, 10 psi for drums. They have female 1/8" US standard pipe threads, so adapter fittings will also be needed to mate it to the line/s:

Marty, if you had disc on front and rear, how many of those 2 psi valves from Summit would you need? I also installed a pressure reducing valve to my rear disc so that the rears would not lock up before the front discs. Would that 2 psi valve go before the rear pressure reducing valve? I am thinking yes? Thanks.

These, as all discs, do not need any residual pressure valve in any of the circuits.
When all disc are the same as using all Suzuki you do need a pressure reducing valve in the rear circuit as you appear to have done.
Have you not used your conversion yet?
Don't make something so simple appear so complex & involved, please.

Normally, you would not need a residual valve with disc brakes. you would want one if the master was mounted lower than the caliper, but that's not the case with a jeep. For use with drums and a singe master cylinder where you don't want the residual valve to effect the front discs, you would install one in the line going to the rear. These valves only retain a small amount of pressure so you don't have to pump the brakes to refill the lines. Having a residual valve on a disc brake will cause the brakes to drag, they rely on an open line so that the pads can recess slightly in the calipers after you relax the pedal, a residual valve will prevent that.

If you also convert your master cylinder to a safer dual master, the rear can have the residual valve built in, the front port can be open. Artificer fitted one to his jeep a while back, IIRC, an Isuzu one. Herm, the overdrive guy, also carries a bracket to mount a common dual cylinder on older jeeps, similar to the one on late 60's CJ-5s with the dual frame mounted master:
http://hermtheoverdriveguy.com/brakes/m ... inder-kits

If you find the rear brakes are locking up before the fronts, you need a pressure regulator, adjustable ones are commonly used, usually, one going to the rear brakes is sufficient. Jegs or Summit racing will have them. In Europe or Britain, I'm sure there is a supplier for similar items, someone who caters to the racing community would have them local.

No I used the conversion with the factory valve removed from the master cylinder and have a pressure reducing valve from Summit in the rear circuit. I was just getting a little nervous that maybe I over looked something. All is good on my jeep brake system wise.

DANGER:
The metric threads do not match the US fittings & should not be used in this way. I suggest only getting new hoses made & the lengths will be in my old Suzuki disc brake thread in modifications

Suggest you re-think what you are doing with the front brake hoses [600mm [24"] long banjo fitting one end & 3/8" US fitting the other] & copper tubing should not be used in brake circuits.

Je vous conseille de re-penser ce que vous faites avec les tuyaux de frein avant 600mm [24 "] à long raccord banjo une extrémité et 3/8" US montage de l'autre et le cuivre tube ne doit pas être utilisé dans les circuits de freinage

received your advice. I'll edit. The brake hose is too long. Copper pipe is approved for brake. In France I can not find a flexible, standard brake, just like aviation. this is not homologous to the technic control. I'll buy in usa 4 hoses and 2 fitting 90 .Give me, please, reference for this share. C is easier for moi.For the wheel lug ict easy to find with the ref 610034 or 610080.
Thanks for all
