What rear disc brake setup will give you an e-brake on a 96 Dana 70

I got to ask if you know what section you are in or if you have read THIS

the cost of a kit to do this is enough to buy a new shop tool that could make lots of interesting parts for any truck, hotrod or any other project.

this is a kit that fits what you posted KIT

seems lame to need to post for a kit in a section like this... why not cut brackets... bolt them or better yet weld them up and and use off the shelf dodge calipers and lines .... OR just junk yard it and bolt on the brackets from an 01.5 D70 with disk... but a kit is the best option for you.... and this is why you should not have posted this here!

good day sir!

most kits use Eldorado calipers for e-brake rear disc. Make sure whatever kit you get has easy to find parts, you don't want to get stuck somewhere waiting on custom parts.

just got 1 of those kits from GUBNI. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showt...40#post9290240

they are actually really nice. it uses GM rotors and calipers, complete with pads and brake lines. couple extra bucks more and he'll throw in some stainless lines and or upgrade to the caddy eldarado calipers that have an e-brake already built into the caliper itself.

hell, the kit even comes with all the little bullshit hardware you need.

the only thing i can complain about it is that the brakets need a little grinding out, but other than that, still really good. well worth the 300 bucks for the "base" kit. shipped.

thanks gubni!

do some research and use the search button! if i can find shit like that ^ then so can you
