Transfer case e-brake, anyone have one kicking around?

[Fantom]

Looking for a kit similar to the one below. Anyone have anything locally (Canada). Needs to bolt onto a newer transfer case (84-ish).
Thanks!

Do you prefer this over the factory setup?

 

[Fantom]

Well, considering I am removing the factory semi-float (that has the e-brake) and replacing it with a full float rear end that doesn't. I need an option and this is it.

 

[AJAEbj42]

A ha! you aren't downsizing! That's the only reason one would consider putting a full float in a 40! (to carry more weight)!

Good luck with the build!

Not the only

Cadillac callipers with built in e-brake, the added bonus of disc brakes

Also, 40 series full floats need a few extra dowels milled in. I've seen many shear, including mine. Great for carrying weight, not so great with gobs of torque and 37"+ tires

Won't be running 37s and it's a turbo 3b. Also, will not be doing the disk brake conversion yet due to time restrictions. So, need a T-C aftermarket brake.

Can't somehow stick the older style tcase "brake" on ?

 

[Fantom]

It's possible, as far as I know I would need a different output shafts and bearing refiner and a shorter drive shafts ....and all the brake components.
I think the disk brake is less evasive and if anything allows me to change things down the road with less hassle.

 

[Enigma]

Rear disc brake conversion Phil suggested is really the best option.

 

[Fantom]

yeah, thanks. Did you read the part where I said "time restriction"?

Says the guy posting 3am.....

Whats the panic for an e brake anyways? 99% of the 40's out there don't have one that works anyways.

 

[Fantom]

Just trying to line up everything I need for a quick-ish rest/upgrade.
I don't care what 99% of people have, or even 100%. I want it done right.
Besides, there are mixed reviews on the Cadillac callipers holding as an e-brake so even with disks I would prefer to have a separate backup.

I've been bugged by a guy on MUD looking for 83/84 BJ42's if you're interested in a quick flip.

pretty sure the same can be said about those disk kits re: mixed reviews. I've never had issue with my old style drum parking brake, holds just fine. Not cheap to retrofit to a stock split case drum brake though. Ordering the 60 series version of what you linked might be easier, but still need to sort the cable/bracket/adjuster, so not entirely bolt on.

Guess that will depend on the final price as well, the kit from the US and relocating the factory e-brake lever cable to this new piece as opposed to all the parts required to convert to the older style brake (which requires partial disassembly of the T-C, something I wasn't planning on doing).

In the end, a couple of largish stones behind two wheels is a lot faster and cheaper and gives you the benefit of not having a single point of failure, just sayin...

Are those DOT approved stones? And accepted during a VI? And do you need to carry extra ones in case you have difficulty in throwing it exactly under the tire as you are trying to park on a hill? If so, how many, 2, 3? I have to budget for that accordingly.
