I doubt if you will gain any rear braking power by switching to the 81 unless they are the HD type. You will have to deal with the emergency brake cables also. Do you have other reasons to switch to the 81 3rd member?

If you were closer I would give you a nice oem 67-72 rear brake setup as I went to disc on the rear,
