As far as the e-brakes I haven't hooked them up as its a matter of finding a correct late model e-brake line which I'm too lazy to do

Now the right gear company sells brackets to use 2002 and later brake setup and I can only assume the OEM e-brake setup, but I found that out too late though

What pictures do you need ill get them this weekend

Ok, i got ya on the finned "housing" not drums.

Just re-read post #1 and realized your are using a complete axle setup from a late model (06) that has factory disc w/e-brake. As I understand ,it's 3 inches wider than my 87 14FF, but you were ok with that and wanted it anyway due to its finned housing.

Then after re-reading post #7, i think it's starting to make sense. My current understanding is that a late model brake setup may or may NOT just bolt to my older 14FF (if the housing ends, distance from end to axle flange, etc are different). This is what I need someone to verify. If they do not bolt on this would be where the aftermarket brakets come into play.

Am I making sense now?
