Gary, This sounds like a good idea to me, from reading how much work is involved in working on brakes or axles, etc on a banjo-style rear. This may be a more HAMB related discussion, but there may be another option. Don't know if it would be much if any cheaper, but there is an outfit in California (Where else?) that can provide 9" axles, bearings, and such for your existing rear. It would probably involve a complete rebuild of the assembly anyway, tho. to get to where you would like to be.
