I'm guessing the transfer handbrake is off a 1ltr case? If so can it just be bolted onto a standard 1.3 case?

No, the 1.3 n/t, 4 bolt's & the h/brake cable's part of the assembly..

If you are going to fit front's on the rear I would suggest either run the cheapest pad's you can get in the rear & beat in the front, Or do a vit front upgrade..

I have one to, yet to fit it as I really don't need it, can be driven with out locking rear's, but will lock just about any time if you want it to. I have vit's on front tho.
The vit upgrade is well worth it, stopping power is awesome, rear disc is just as good, especially coming home from a wheel & still having peddle with out the ole 2pump.. :wink:

you selling the orange thing shep? why?

Ahhh man! Sheps without his Awesome LWB.... Bummer. The world is going to be a darker place now.

so are the drum brake on the transfer just as good or better

They hold & don't need adjusting as often, but still suffer from mud ingestion.. I haven't adjusted sully's in about 6 month's & have wheeled a far bit, still hold's on hill's..I just flush the thing when I get home..

NIK told me about back in the day they use to get dremel, or file and roughen up the drum, then they would stick a bajiliant times better

Great to hear, are you using a prop valve? Any worries with the back locking up on you?

LMAO! You'd be surprised at how much your island parallels where I live. I am about 15 minutes from a native reservation. Our reservation is dry too, although it doesn't do much to stop the drinkers from getting tanked. Sorry ajsr, "the world will be a much sadder place with Sheps missing his LWB"

Speedo cable's the same. I don't think you need to change the Speedo Cable for a rear disc conversion, but it can't hurt to put in a new one. Perhaps you were thinking of the Handbrake Cable?

Yeah I've got a Willwood aftermarket adjustable proportioning valve. No issues at all with locking the rear wheels with the valve installed.
