14bolt rear disc parking brake ??????s

[rubbinz raczn]

i will be doing a rear disc conversion on my 14 bolt ff. what is the best approach to the e-brake,or parking brake issue? i see the cadillac calipers with mech. parking brake. also driveshaft ones. any other options? i know you can use the cheaper 3/4 ton calipers without e-brake. a cable pull setup isn't really what i want to do since i don't have any of the stock e-brake stuff. any ideas thanks! /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

Those are about your only choices, I am going the caddy caliper route. what t-case do you have?? That will decide if the t-case e brake will even work for you. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

wheel chocks...that's about your only other option, unless you wanna design some one-off setup like i'm gonna do.

There's one more option.

Leave the drums.

the line lock works with you hydralic braking system so there would be not point for it if your brakes failed.
