Yeah, good luck dude.
What e-brake did you end up using?
Also, when you get your tranny swap in, post some pics from inside the cab, I'm interested in how that all fits in.

Thanks everyone! 
I actually have the G52 in the truck right now and it is the same length as the W56 only it uses a forward shift T-case instead of the Top shift that the L and W series have. My truck originally came with the L43 that actually used shift linkage unlike any of the later 4x4 Mini Toyota's. They are prone to failure and it did not last very long offroad so I "upgraded" to the Later G series and I'm now on my 3rd or 4th one I moved my crossmember back ~5 inches and made a new tunnel. Looking back that seemed like such a LONG time ago.
The W series should be an improvement, but I'm really thinking about (in the long run) adapting an R series and having 23 spines in both T-cases. The R series is said to be more than twice as strong as the G series and I'm honestly getting tired of ripping out transmissions so it might be worth it... I will have to rebuild my current T-case and swap it over to a top shift then find another top shift for the duals. I have 6 forward shift cases in my shop, but no top shift's
Anyway the park brake was from Allpro and it was really easy to install :greg:
