Steve is selling conversion kits on 4wdstuff.co.nz for cruiser and hilux rear brakes. Hes using Maxima callipers that have the handbrake levers lineing up reasonably well with the cable.

Mid 80's Subaru front calipers are popular, they are a single pot caliper with a 53mm piston and have the handbrake levers also

Nop but you are basiclly getting the parts all together if you get them from Steve..or try to find the bits yourself..= same thing..Currently looking at this as well..but funding is a little short and i'm tossing between the maxima and suby caliper..not sure wich will be the better one to use..

yeah seems like the easy option just to get steves ones if thats all you need my problem is geting time to go parts gathering
