let me start off by saying i came from the street rod side of things & pinion mounted parking brakes are common on street rods. i sourced my parts from 2 different kit makers and made my own brackets to mount same to the rear output yoke of the np205. the bigest expenses to the kits are the u-joint girdle, cables and handle, these items you don't need to buy. just get what you need and the parts required are few.
you need a brake rotor, an adapter to mount the rotor to the yoke and a caliper. you will save about $150.00 off of the price of a complete kit. you will have to make a bracket to mount the caliper over the disc and a bell crank to change the direction of pull on the 715's brake handle from pull/push, fore and aft to pull/push right and left, and a homemade u-joint girdle. i made all of my brackets and such before i mounted the 205 in my truck. if the 205 is already installed in your truck you would likely save time by removing it to fab-up the brackets. then remove the brackets, reinstall the 205 then bolt on the brackets.
i made the brackets and the bell-crank bracket out of 1/4 in stock, webbed and braced, it needs to be strong to hold the weight of the 715. i made my caliper bracket in two pieces, one piece mounts to the aluminum output bearing cover and the other piece mounts to the caliper then welded the two together. i mounted the caliper in about the 0100 o'clock position with the caliper centered on the disc. the bell crank bracket is mounted on the right aluminum cover on the 205.
the piviot for the bell crank is a 7/16 bolt with two tabs welded to it at aproximately 90 degrees apart. adjustment is provided with the original pull rod clevis and a 1/4 rod with a clevis on each end that attaches the bell crank to the caliper arm. if you use spherical rod ends on the caliper-to-bell crank rod it will make alignment easier...hindsight....
the caliper came from tsm mfg co.and still cost $80.00 with the pads and bolts. to see the caliper: www.tsmmfg.com/7211.htm
caliper pn is 7211
the rotor and adapter came from total performance inc. and still cost $35.00 for the rotor and $25.00 for the adapter.
the adapter required for the stock size yoke is the chevy adapter.
to see the rotor: http://www.tperformance.com/street_r...acement_rotor/
rotor pn is bp15112
adapter pn is bp15121
the u-joint girdle is just longer u-bolts or jeep u-joint straps and the right length bolts and lock nuts.
i hope the pictures tell the story better. al
