TOY: The Rear Disk Quest - Cont...

[Ed Wong <ewong_kaizen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all on the list for the info...

It seems that the OEMs (who have $$$ Liability issues
to deal with) choose to go "mini drum" for the parking
brake.

Thom (and possibly others) noted that the Ford
SuperDuty used this configuration. I doubt that the
parts would be easily adaptable to a Toy Mini Rear
axle/FF hub combo.

Karl (and others) noted that the FZJ80 offered this.
This seems to be an easier (but likely more $$$ route)
for this conversion.

Please refresh my memory...
- Avail in the USA?
- only on ones with elec locker?

Im asking becuase the next step is to potentially look
at a FZJ80 shop manual to see how its put together.

Im wondering how the brake cable is configured and how
much of a pain that might be to route.

Im thinking this route as the Sequoia rear disk/drum
most likely would need to be modified to deal with the
full floater hub whereas the FZJ80 already has a full
floater...

Come to think of it - doesnt Karl have one of these
magical axles?

axle stubs to make a mini truck FF out of an FZJ80 axle)
