I got one from Allpro Offroad in the states and it works a treat, no more problems with wet brake shoes and no hand brake. I had to get my exhaust shifted around and underneath the brake assembly but the bloke did such a good job I haven't lost any ground clearance. The only other real problem is the front part of the handbrake cable is too long so I have to get it shortened a little. I have managed to clamp it temporarily but I will need to get a proper fitting swaged on to it. Anyone know of somewhere in the north of Tassie?
