So that will bring us to the brakes which I guess will be marginal for road use, and I'd think you can get later Suzuki calipers to fit ... although yor probably better off spending on a radial master cyl first.
Well, by an eye look i think the RGV's brake disks are bigger in diameter than the 3TJ's (and have bigger braking surface). However i keep my 3TJ's master cylinder on (though is the same with RGV's) and connect it with the RGV calipers. I'm on the repairing stage now and i don't know how this will work in riding. When all be ready i'll post my opinion. ;)
