anyone know if you convert a widetrack handbrake to a transfer handbrake will it add any length too the tcase ? becuase i think the crossmember might hit the hand brake drum if it is longer than a non handbrake setup? am i making sense?

You will need half a NT flange or redrill, as hole pattern will be different
