Are the rear brakes the same as a FIT. If so you could probably use this. IF not Brian can make you a kit similar to this for probably the $900.00 Price tag.

Check the part numbers on the master cylinders, as drums are more likely to lock up, there has to be a difference in proportioning the fluid, if not also a difference in diameter of the MC piston bore and fluid capacity.
