to make handbrake work, most i have seen you just use the fud handbrake and make it fit up in the cab, not to hard really.

the diffs at my mates house so i cant readily check it out. But i think my mate knows what to do, i just wanted to get more familiar with the process - i never knew that one axle was 4" shorter than the other.

when the axles get replaced, can i put other ones in with more splines or does other stuff need to be changed too, or am i totally barking up the wrong tree?

And buy blank discs and drill them to Ford pattern
114.3x5 is alot easier to get decent wheels for than 108x5

Chopper i remember you saying that something needs to be done to the proportioning valve when fitting rear discs, could you enlighten me on the subject again?
Cheers.

#1 There is a residual line pressure valve in the rear brake circuitry of the master cylinder. Remove the rear line to the m/c, remove the brass olive WITHOUT DAMAGING IT ( not available new ) and then you can remove the residual line pressure valve. Carefully re-assemble and bleed after you do the second thing.
#2 There is the proportioning valve. This alters the presure to the rear brakes. Different pressure is needed for discs and drums. From memory, the two pressures are 300 PSI and 1000 PSI. dattoman would be able to give a better explanation. It's not hard to guess what would happen if the wrong valve is there.

so you actually have to replace the proportioning valve with one out of a car that has 4 discs?
