[orangefj45]

Thanks to a stroke of luck and some help from a long time cruiser buddy, these showed up at my shop a couple of weeks ago.

And we have the matching main shafts & e-brake drums as well as rebuild kits!

Georg, are these for split cases?

 

[orangefj45]

Yes sir!!!!!

Oh, beauty!

 

[John Smith]

Wow! Have you approached Advance Adapters about buying one and considering doing a production run? Those should be easy to make compared to the Orion cases.

 

[srgould41]

Would those drums fit a late model one piece case? Not looking for one, just curious.

 

[Tapage]

how easy / complicated it's to " adapt " those to a normal split case BF1A ..?

And if done properly will hold your big tire rig on a hill .?

 

[Michael B]

Wow! Nice score Georg!!

I'm half way tempted to get one of these in the event that I ever do put a split case in my FJ40...

 

[Splangy]

I'll bite. PM sent.

 

[pbgbottle]

Very cool

Better hurry boys!

Same here - I've got an H41 and split case from an '84 HJ47 with only ~60,000 miles. I've been thinking of installing it in my '71 FJ40 (the vehicle already has a '76 2F and an H42 with one-piece case from a '78 FJ55). I've got an older H41 with '71 3-speed transfer case in my '76 FJ40 and I really like the gearing.

I sure hope you're still saving 1 for me. I'm still working on that list.

@orangefj45

The only reason they had been unobtanium is because your buddy had them all

Nice score !!!

Ok, I'll be that guy. I gather these are parts to use a split case behind early 40 transmissions? Am I close?

They allow the use of a transfer case mounted drum parking brake on a split case.

 

[iptman]

Nice. Thanks.

A game changer for some!

What do you think about a 14 bolt rear with this as the e-brake?

Does this retrofit into existing split cases?

And what do you do for a cable?
