    Anybody hear of one being made? I know they are made for 20's, 300's and toyota T.C.'s but I need one for my 18. I'm willing to pay the $300, just can't find one. I'm installing an Advance Adaptor dual brake/hyd. clutch master cylinder and swing pedals. Because the single reservoir is shared ,I'm a little more than concerned about brake failure, it's starting to bother me. I lost my brakes once because of my stocker juice jar. A real million to one odds fluke, a stick broke a brake line to a rear wheel. At the time I still had the stock drum parking brake, but they are always in need of servicing. It's long gone. I have all wheel disc's with S10/Blazer calipers on the rear.I know some Toranado/Caddy calipers have the parking brake feature. I guess I could set up a pair of levers as cutting/parking brakes. I dred all the R&D and I'm much better at bolting something together. And I want to get this thiing on the trail not be buried in it.

    Nope, trying to get Dad to do that. This is a D20 case with the Terra Low 3.15 low range gears, girdle, finned aluminum pan. He's got over 2K in this transfer case, and it is sitting in his spare bedroom...........Oh, the disc brake is a highly modified Toyota kit from All Pro.......

    Get a park lock if you want the rears to act like a parking brake.
    It goes inline.

    Mine too! It'll lock up the tires below about 15 MPH.

    Thanks for the response. I hadn't found anyone either. You'd think if they make them for 20's and 18 would be a given. J.McDavid I've already got a Micro lock on the rear. It doesn't get me away from the single Master cyl. fuild loss problem . Patrick, Thanks for posting the photos. Tell your Dad to put me on the I want one list. And to you Gents still using the stock drum parking brake, nothing personal. Mine was always full of mud,sand,dirt,snow and or oil. Once I pulled the handle so hard it broke right off. More trouble than it was worth to me.
