DJ2A parking brake parts I need every thing inside the hub lever and spreader bar both sides. I'm thinking this may be a problem. Fred |

Ouch. I've got a extra rear DJ axle (not extra whole rear end assembly. just one of the axles) and I've got the complete set of rear end gears, spacers and all stored wired together that probably came out of the same housing. One of the axles had been twisted and broke and I've got that too. Stuff came with a large lot out of Ohio and I know I didn't get the hubs or brake cylinders that would have been with it and I'm pretty sure I don't have the levers either but I'll check my boxes to be sure. Worst case I've got a whole complete DJ rear end that I would sell but I wouldn't want to tear into it and sell parts. That would be expensive though because I imagine shipping would be as much as I'd want for the whole rear end itself. Let me check through those boxes to make sure I don't have the levers and I'll post back tomorrow. |

Fred, Is it DJ2A parts you need, or DJ3A? With the proper dimensions, the flat bar can be trimmed down easy enough if needed by copying the end shape and duplicating it further back. The other a little more difficult, but possible on the non-pivot end, IF it is even need to??? Do you have a set of those 10", or just the one each? Did you try Walcks4wd.com? My DJ brakes are still apart, so I can measure the pieces for you if needed. |

Fred, I looked at a pic taken 'as I found mine' when I got it, for comparison to the parts you showed. Basically, yours look like they may work depending on their length. I can go to my shop Monday and measure the parts, but I can't post pics. The biggest difference I see in the pics is the lever on mine has a bend outward near the pivot pin, and a more exaggerated bend back inward down near the bottom than yours as shown does. That may not matter as long as yours are the right length and clear the shoe retainer clips and adjuster pin. I'll get back to you with the measurements late tomorrow. Cya...SteveK |

Steve Here are pictured of mine with 10 inch lever installed looks way to wide where the flat bar goes. Mine had no spring at the bottom. Thanks for all the help. Fred https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=6ABA3...thint=folder%2c |

Fred, I downloaded your pic and compared it to mine (slightly different angles tho) flipping back and forth to try to see differences. If...yours clears that retainer clip (looks very close) and if the shoe was pushed back with the stretcher bar, it looks OK to me from here. So, I;m guessing we need to compare stretcher bars, in both length and shape, since my lever has a slightly different outward bend in it. I'm not sure what you meant by "Mine had no spring at the bottom" as I see one there. I'm also guessing your cable will fit and lock in the hole when stretcher is installed pushing the shoes outward. If you want, e-mail me, and then I can respond with attached pics of mine for your viewing and opinion. Also, if yo would, give me your overall length of your stretcher, and the distance between grooves (shoe spread length) for comparison. Otherwise, I guess we would have to snail mail a trace of mine for your consideration to shapes and sizes. I'll be back this afternoon with more details. Cya... |

Alright Bruce. Mine are exactly as you show. I have the following bar measurements: overall 6-9/16, distance between grooves 4-11/16, width at narrow end 3/4, groove width at narrow end 3/16', with groove 11/16 long. It is 6" from narrow end to short prong tip on other end, width of prong is 1/4, and groove is 1/4 by 5/8 long. Longest prong is 1/4 wide and 9/16 long, then widens by 1/8 to groove. Overall width at wide end is 7/8. Those are the measurements that I find are on mine. Maybe others have something different. As for your flatter lever, Fred, I would think if it swings freely clearing the retainer clip, it'll work, but you may have to move groove measurements on wide end of bar to clear shoe and align with lever...or hope someone has extra levers and/or matching bars. Hope all this helps. Good Luck! |

Hey Fred, Interesting look with the Cane handle instead of the T-handle. How did you manage that? I would prefer to think of it as a 'parking brake'. We don't need any more 'emergencies' in DJs...Glad it all worked out. |
