Default Relocated Parking Brake Brackets on TA

I'm using Global West rear trailing arms. I have to relocate the parking brake bracket to use wider tires.

Does anyone have pictures of where you relocated the brackets to?

Cut the brackets off of my Global West trailing arms today. I tried to save them but decided that it would be easier to make my own. So I made some brackets to weld on to the top of the trailing arm. They are in a rough state at this point. Stay tuned.

I got this done finally. I modified the brackets more after they were welded on the trailing arms. Sprayed some chassis paint over everything . Adjusted the parking brake cable.
