Disk Brakes were an option on the M from the beginning. These were built by the Lambert company and are known as Lambert Disk brakes. Some say they were a factory option, some say only dealer installed. I don't know which is correct. They are shown in the M parts catalog. I think you could change any M over to these brakes provided you could find the parts. These brakes are different than the brakes on the Super Series. The splines on the shafts are different, the housings are different and the disks are different. The housings are held on with 3 bolts, whereas I think the Super series diskbrake housings have 5 or 6 bolts. I have a 1947 MD that has the Lambert brakes. I had the disks relined in a local shop to rebuild them. I did not do much else, except to sand off the clamping surfaces and replace a missing spring which was not easy to find. The Lambert brakes are uncommon and a lot of folks are not aware that they exist. However, I've seen several Ms the past few years so equipped. I've heard that they could also be had on the H, but I've never seen an H with them.
