Is their a kit i could buy from napa, autozone, etc. that would have all the springs, adjusters, other misc. hardware that i would need to attach the e-brake shoes to the zj backing plates???

and can i get the e-brake shoes from a chain store, or are they dealer only items???

related question: the rear soft brake lines off a zj, do they sell those at chain stores as well??

thanks in advance

well I still believe the explorer disc brakes are the same as the ZJ, and I can guarentte the hardware you speak of is. but anyways chances are a couple of different applications use the same hardware.

ZJ and Exploder calipers are interchangeable
ZJ and Exploder e-brake shoes and hardware are interchangeable

It's the brackets and dust shields that are different.

Brakelines are available at the parts store.
