Re: Please look at this link!
Jonah,
You might get a better response if you edit the title to state that you are looking for Rocky Mountain Brakes. Most people don't bother looking at posts with non-descriptive or cryptic titles.
I'm in Australia so can't help with your actual request.
J.E.G.

Jonah, I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the only difference between the large and small set-up is the addition of the extra brake drum. I think you can use your set-up and just omit the extra large drum that comes with the early brakes. John

The 26/27 RM's use brake bands that are a different size then the ones used with the small drum setup. The 26/27 used the existing drums, the small drum an additional drum that was installed between the wheel and original small drum. You can't install the small drum type bands on the 1926/27's.

Pictures always help. So you have an early kit and want to swap for a '26-'27 kit?
Also here is a link on instructions '26 - '27 Rocky Mountain Brake Kit https://www.fordmodelt.net/rocky-mountain-brakes.htm

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

The photo of the 26/27 shown above is not correct. The kit does not include the brake drum.
