Is there a newer rear that I can get and still hook up my parking brake?

Hey all,

I was wondering, of all the upgrades available for our rear ends, from the Moser 12-Bolt to the Strange s60 and everything in between; is there one that I can get and still hook up my emergency brake? Even if I had to buy parts for it, that's fine. Its just important for me to have my emergency brakes work. Thanks for your help!

You can adapt S10 drum brakes to the Moser rear end if you order it with the correct housing ends. The later S10 drums have the old 4 bolt pattern on the backing plates, and your parking brake will hook up.

Good to know, though as I currently have disc brakes, I'd prefer to keep the disc set up.

Your disc brakes will also work on the Moser rear end. Just tell them which brakes you have and they will build the rear end to work with those brakes.
