Thanks. Can you please tell me more about this? What is the drum locator? This is what I have regarding the drum brakes from the 71 that I would like to put on my 69.

And I was thinking of getting something like this for the axle conversion. Somebody posted on the forum a while back a link for buying axles on Amazon.com but now I can't find the post any more. But then I just now found this one at Summit.

Do I need more parts or need to consider other parts of the equation?
