Does the master cylinder need to be changed or modified?

Nope, not at all. Nor should you do anything with the combo valve under it. Be aware that the ZJ backing plates don't have stainless steel abutment clips, but you can swap to TJ rear calipers which have pads that are shorter between the slots to allow the use of abutment clips.

The center hole is very easily opened up enough to fit over the Set 10 bearing. There is a write up on Stu Offroad that shows what we did to install his many years ago. If you have a Dana 35, you don't have to open the hole.

Are these still available for 99 TJ, Dana 35? I’m in Phoenix and come to LAfrequently. Can I pick up.

I think I still have one more set available, I will look in my stash of Jeep parts to see what there is @JLANEF.
 
Do you have another kit put together yet? If not, can you provide a list of what all I need to build this kit? I'd like to convert mine, but not interested in spending 700.00+ on doing so! Thank you in advance.

Where are you seeing them for 700? Average for new is around 530ish.

What year ZJ’s work for this conversion? From what I have found it’s 93-99, is the ZJ the only model to rob from and still maintain 5 X 4.5? I have an 06 with a Dana M35. Does the parking brake still work? Thanks new to the Jeep world.
