TOY: Sequoia Rear Brakes - more

[Ed Wong <ewong_kaizen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mea culpa on the confusion.
I started saying Tundra - but those use DRUM brakes.
I then chagned "Tundra" to "Sequioa" and musta fergot
a few.

One problem so far -

AFAIK the Sequioa rear axle is a semi floater,
just like the mini truck.

So - if all I wanted was disk brakes - maybe Id bolt
everything on with a backing plate and bracket.

But the other issue is that the parking brake cable
enters from the FRONT of the backing plate (like FORDS
do) So one would have to fab a whole new parking brake
setup...

Karl mentions the FZJ80's with full floaters and rear
disks. These also used a "mini" drim brake.

Anyone know how the cable enters the backing plate?

Its still looking like the Supra conversion from FROF
is still the way to go.

Id still be concerned about how well this holds the
truck.
The All-Pro setup has the advantage of diff
multiplication.

BTW - I was looking at Hummers (they had em up on a
"display" with a mirror under them) and they use
inboard brakes.. Cool - until the shaft snaps.
