Years ago I got a seal kit from JC Whittney of all places.. Leather 'seals' and reinforcement half moons.
Don't know if they would still carry those.

anybody ever try mounting a disc caliper set up where the emergency brake drum thing is on the back of the transfer case?

Yes. Spicer had one off an Escort I believe it was fabbed on the rear of his for a while...

I also believe that a couple of folks have used the street rod setup for a driveshaft parking disc brake that is available as a kit from several suppliers. I know I've seen it done somewhere around here. It might require some machining though, as I doubt its a bolt-on.

What about an inline 'micro-switch'? There was one on the frame of mine.

I know they worked well at the airport for decades..
