60 series sahara,s came out with rear disks but are tyo hard to find
source a caliper bracket from some ware ( eureka in melbourne have them) and fit hilux solid disks and calipers I have them on mine and they
work great with 35''s

Yea I know about the t/case handbreaks. I was thinking like a 80's series handbreak, in the disc?? or caliper activated handbreak??

I am in the middle of doing the read disk conversion. What studs should I use on the rear? I was thinking about using some front hub studs, but the flange on the rear hub is much thinner and the longer studs may cause problems if the wheel nuts bottom out on the thread before pulling up on the wheel.
Does anyone have contact details for Eureka? Prefer email.
Thanks
Ben
