The only catch to that kit is the rear axle flange needs mods for the rotor to work. There was a forum member in 73-87 that tried to install it and had to send it back. Let me see if I can find the thread.

Thanks Ken, I saw that one a while back, but I still do not have an answer to my question.

The caliper in the rear kit has a parking brake, What was the OEM application for that caliper?

CaptianFab; I remember a thread that you had (or posted in) that had pictures of various calipers on a bracket that you made (or were making) one of the calipers had a mechanical parking brake, what OEM application was that caliper? I can't seem to find that thread...
