I have secured an H55 and an 1987 FJ60 split case. The split case will get a rebuild. I have poured over all the threads about the conversion, read the rebuilds on the split case, explored the options on the e-brake solution.
My red 40 has a full float rear diff with a disc brake conversion using Monte Carlo calipers and GM truck rotors.
Options:
1- replace the rear axle with a 79-83 Fj40 axle with e-brake built in. Not my first choice because of my current full float setup.
2- find the conversion kit of the rear output shaft, rear bearing housing, brake drum and shoes.- Like finding a needle in a hay stake.
3- rear brake calipers with built in parking brake, El Dorado option. Might be my first choice, will require, park brake floor lever ($100), cable ($150), and El Dorado Calipers ($160 to $200 pair).
My question is, Is there anything new for the solution for e-brake in an FJ40 H55 conversion?
