Kore3 zo6 rear brakes + Rear Diff options

[formula350]

I'm going the kore3 route for my brakes and would like a little enlightenment concerning the parking brake and differential. I would really rather use a cable brake over a wet system.

As far as I've investigated so far it seems I have a few options.

1) Run a stock housing and keep the cable parking brake.

2)Run a Moser 9"/12 bolt and loose the cable parking brake.

3) Hope that someone here can tell me how to get the best of both worlds.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan, what is a wet system? I am using the cable with my Kore 3 stuff and 9 inch, it works great. BTW, what part of SD are you in? I just moved to Chula Vista a couple of weeks ago.

I mean hydraulic e-brake. Is yours a moser or just a Ford 9"?

How do you like it here? I live in downtown.

Confused... I run kore3 zo6 breaks with the optional parking brake kit... What's the issue?

I run a 9 inch

You do not want a hydraulic park brake system. Every hydraulic system, no matter how well sealed, will leak down over time. It may take a long time but it will eventually release the park brake. That is why cable actuated park brakes are the norm. If you are running a conventional "bearing on axle" setup the stock park brake system is the most cost effective way to go. However, if you are running a floating hub rear end like my Moser floater, a separate park brake caliper is about the only alternative available.

This is the park brake calipers I will be installing shortly.

I will operate them with this.

The KORE3 kits are available with a factory parking brake. All proven GM products. I don't understand why would you need to invest $800-$1000 into an aftermarket parking brake kit?

Well then I guess I don't understand what you were asking in the original post.

I think the OP's post is a little confusing.
I looked at those calipers you listed a while back, looks like the ones the GMR used to carry. Seems like pinion mounted parking brake would work with a floater too...

JDM thats exactly what i was talking about.talking about.

I wanted to run the full floating hub moser 9" and Kore3 with a parking brake.
The full floater rear will not work with the stock parking brake.

The first link had an error I saw the electric brake on the second one.

Floater rear... Critical detail missing from the original post

You can use those calipers that Steve has shown you or if you really want to use the factory style backing plates do what Ron did here in post #24

You'll have to make your own custom rotor hat adaptation.

The floater rear makes parking brakes a challenge. I looked at the pinion park brakes but that requires a rotor mounted on the pinion yoke. The pinion kits are really cost effective but I was concerned about ground clearance and frankly it looks like a truck park brake. The IPSCO spot calipers are very nice pieces, I have them already, but they are more money. I just need to fab a simple weld on mount then use the E-Stopp actuator to control them.
