Rear caliper replacement for '83 Urq

[benswann at comcast.net]

I may take you up on the bracket.  Everything is working OK right now and I
have the cable held with some hose clamps - sufficient to do the job, but
probably won't pass inspection.

I need to look into the cable setup.  I saw somthing was different than what I
was used to on the 4kqs, but didn't make the connection.

Is there any improvement in using the 4kq calipers over the stock UrQ?  How
about 5kq rear brakes?  I have a nice set of those.

I don't want to be chincy especially on something like brakes, but if I can use
something I already have and see any improvement, I'd think that is good.
