Turkey master,
I see you are working on a Willys. Me too. When it comes to a 9 in ford read my post above. If you already got the housing and axels you getting close. haha.
The saga continues.....I started installing the new metric e-brake calipers only to find that they interfer with the coil overs as they are supposed to be installed. Just Great. So I'm looking at the mess trying to get the calipers to fit in some other position. No luck. So I spend about 2 hours drawing up a new e-brake arm rotated 90 deg so I can reposition the calipers. I'm about ready to start making chips when I make one last attempt to move things around. I take the e-brake arms off and reverse them side for side then discover that the brackets can be flipped too. We're making progress. Now I see that it only takes a small extention welded on the arms for a stop and we are home. Finally a break. so the caliper now fit with the bleeders up besides. I quickly TIG welded them on before they changed their mind. Even the springs fit. Now all I need ar some cables but they are not hard. So today I got the fill and drain plugs made and welded on. Then I got the rattle cans out and primed and painted the thing. Ready to final assemble.
You are lucky you only have get the "pig" completed. Here is a tip....go to Currie or Moser and if you can set it up yourself (not hard) just buy the parts needed. forget the junkyard stuff. You can even do a locker right out of the catalog.
