Hmm... that's interesting. Seems like you could fairly easily build a drum
like that to mount to the t-case flange like the AP disk and similarly not
affect the driveshaft.  The potentially larger surface area of the band
might make it a stronger brake w/ the same cable tension too?

I dunno... but its probably not something I could build anyway. :(
