Has anyone done a rear disc brake conversion on a Dana 44 ?

Any advice or feel it was worth it?
 
I converted mine but it is still not driveable. The other one I did on a friends CJ worked fine. Everything bolted right up. Came from SSBC with the larger corvette MC.

from TSM with Eldorado calipers.

with e brakes.:cool:
 
My understanding is that the AMC20 and Dana 44 are very similar... does anyone know why a new bracket can't be fabricated with larger holes for the bolts, a larger opening where it articulates with the axle housing and just use the 300zx calipers and Geo rotors set up?
 
Here's a pic of bracket for my disc brakes on Dana 44 , 2012-09-15_20-05-26_702.webp then it takes a Geo tracker single blade rotor ,Chevy chevette cailper and bolt Dodge truck brake line .

do you have the years for the parts? Geo rotors front or rear, chevette calipers front or rear? Did you make your own bracket or did you buy it from somewhere?

thanks,
