RE: JPOR: Ford 9" Disk Brake Conversion

Yeah, but I need a parking brake to pass the local safety
inspection.  Even though the POS screw-type ones from 4-wheel
disc cars apparently rarely work well.

I'd love to just use GM D44 outers with Ford hubs, like
up front, but then I'd need a t-case mounted parking
brake for my EB D20.  Ever heard of that? <g>

Then Paul said:

Yeah, and this is probably the route I'll take.  Rebuilt
calipers aren't cheap, and I haven't even been able to find
cores (anyone got any?).  Just thought I'd see if any of
you have found another way to do it.

Thanks, all.
