NP205 Parking Brake

[Jester]

For those who have done it, what is required to bolt on the NP200 parking brake assembly to a NP205?

I know a new output yoke would be required. Any machining of parts?

Looking for an option to the High-Angle disc kit ($$$$$$$$).

The output yoke bearing retainer on the left is a stock NP205 unit. The retainer on the right which is also the parking brake mount is for the NP200. Notice the groove in the 205 part? Have that groove cut in the 200 part and bolt it up.

The yokes only need to be changed if you have a 32 spline 205. The 10 spline units are just swapped out.

OK - that makes sense. txs

I will have to switch yokes as my 205 is a Dodge 32 spine. So I will need a yoke to hold the drum on and a U-joint yoke to bolt to the face of the drum.

Still think it would be cheaper than the $400 + for the disc brake kit.

you can add a disc parking brake to your np205 for a lot less than that. i did mine with new parts for about $150.00 or so. i did a write-up about it about a year ago. use the search to find it. al

I saw your post

Unfortunately, I would have to get someone to fab the brackets for me so the NP200 route is a better option.

Wish I could find my pic's, but I needed a special flange made and machined to accomodate the ujoint fitment. Cost me about 500 bucks to do it soup to nuts but it was definately cool.
