Russ....We know that you're aiming for a 5 X 4-1/2" bolt pattern on the rear of a Ford banjo rear end. Surely you have realized by now that the difficult factor in swapping brakes on a banjo is the tapered axle/ hub situation. Nothing else that I have ever seen will directly substitute with that 12" Ford brake drum/ hub. Many folks will agree that the rear LOCKHEED brakes on a Ford are well-able to do their share of the braking required at the rear end, as the fronts do the majority of the "stopping". With that thought in mind, why not just re-drill the 5 X 4-1/2" bolt circle into the ' 40 drums and be done with it at the rear? You can still adapt F100s re-drilled at the front, or any one of the other available options for BENDIX-types on the front. My thoughts are just that the rear hubs/tapered axle situation at the rear make any swap so difficult to engineer. DD
