Audrey, this unit # DM33CV is factory-set up for disc brakes with the higher-pressure master cylinder already installed. So you’re good to go, no upgrades needed. Just make sure your lines are in good shape and you have some spare Dot 3 or Dot 4 fluid handy!
You'll love the disc brake upgrade; you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner!
Did you have a reverse lockout kit on your old one?
