Rear brakes FF or Semi float,are they the same? (1 Viewer)

Hi everybody,I have a question about the rear brakes.I am using a HJ61 FF rear axle on my 40,when I installed this I replaced the original brakes with a disc brake conversion.However I am in need of a mechanical E-brake now and need to put a original set of drum brakes on again.It's realy hard to find the complete set from a FF axle so I was wondering if I can use everything from a SF and put that on my FF?

Maybe anybody has the 2 available and can compare them?

x2, identical. FWIW, bearings are the same as 80 series front and rear axles ( FF rear of course ) as well as 40 series front axles.

Thanks guys I already found out about the bearings when I overhauled them completely about 2 years ago.

My only fear was that the backing plate could be different and maybe even the whole in the drum was smaller/bigger?

The original drums on the FF were a bit thicker material and therefore a bit heavier. But the inner dimensions are identical and the SF drums fit fine on the FF.

even the hardlines worked on mine, minimal finessing

This has been covered countless times but The Streetrod Manufacturing Co has a tcase ebrake that's far more effective than perfectly-operating drums: FJ 60 Land Cruiser

You could keep your rear discs.

How well does that t-case brake work? Does anyone have one installed? Also does that work with all fj60 Tcase models?

This won't work for me I have the H151 installed from a 80 series on my 40 and my driveshaft is already on the short side,I wish do I could use it
