Grafting hand brake onto 80 series

We all know that there is no such thing as a hand brake in a 80 series unless it has less that 10km's on the clock.

I was toying with the idea of grafting another hand brake system onto a 80 series.

Has anyone done something like a hilux or patrol graft?

Thanks

4"coils and 2" shocks Will it work

Getting 4" coils and have 2" shocks at the moment. Do you think there will be much of a problem until I can afford to get some longer shocks.

No extreme driving, just around town and dirt road.

They're in a 80 Series Landcruiser

Thanks for that. That was the problem. You were right. The minister for war and finance is going to give me money to get it fixed. I'm not going to tell her. So what do I need? :)

The one you have got should be OK. I used one in the exact same situation with a LED and it works great.
