more brake questions

Doubtful. I expect you are misreading the page. Herm and R&P are almost neighbors, and they are selling the same product. I expect Herm's kit is for all four wheels. Here's R&P's page http://pwpinc2.qwestoffice.net/prod_axle.htm

Well, I expect most folks have drums all around if they have the original front axle. 11" drums are very good under most conditions, and are an easy conversion. Disk pads last longer, but these Jeeps are usually hobby cars that don't see a lot of highway miles, so the more frequent maintenance of drums isn't such a burden.

 

I might not understand Herm's web page but it looks like 600/axle. Regardless, R&P sounds like a good option. I will just need the 72 cj 11 inch drums. I can't believe I could not find them on their web page. I will still call them today to ask about a front disc conversion. I have essentially no parts for the original T-case perk brake and I understand those parts are hard to find. I might have to just go with rear park brake and fab something in the jeep.

 

Nope, comes with drums AFAIK.

 

:iagree:

Call R&P
We looked and getting all the parts ourselves but for the cost, R&P is a great deal. I was very impressed with them.

 

I believe R&P is selling the front style set ups for $275 that will work front or rear, just have to specify if you are using them front or rear as the wheel cylinders are different. I believe the rears with all the park brake hardware is $25 more for the set because of all the extra parts involved. The cost of the kit includes all parts new that are available new including non finned drums, hardware and adjuster kits, wheel cylinders, etc. The other parts are all reconditioned. I'm sure they won't sell just the backing plates as they are selling complete kits way too fast. I'd call Paul to confirm these prices, but am sure that's what they are.

 

Doh! I knew that, but overlooked it. Thanks for following up, Nick.
