has anyone done this have done a search and almost every other is listed but not bj73 may be the same as others but i have been told that this and that fit a bj73 well not always and hate wasting money on crap advice i would like to know for sure first also thinking of a disk brake handbrake on the transfer so as not to have the crap 80 series hand brake set up would like to keep track width the same as front as wheels are only just under flares now

many thanks mark

there are plenty of options. your rear axle setup is the same as other cruisers, search some more. a good option is falcon or subaru calipers with the handbrake built in. GQ rear rotors go over your wheel studs with minimum drama. brackets - make prototypes out of MDF or similar then when you are happy with the shape, oxy/plasma/laser cut them out and bolt it all together.
