If anyone has the solid rear 8.8 axle and the rear Wilwood disc brakes with internal drum e-brake its an easy conversion to the Wilwood electric e-brake caliper kit. All that is needed is the electric e-brake kit obviously and then what Wilwood will tell you are custom mounting brackets and spacers. The kit instructions actually calls for custom brackets and when you call Wilwood they'll try to sell you an entire new set up to make it work. Or you can actually make custom brackets. I found these existing Wilwood parts work perfectly as bracket and spacers to install the kit. Enjoy.

Then I just removed the handle to the old handle ebrake and patched the aluminum and carpet.
