just did this on mine pre-jeep show. i got the backing plate, caliper ,bracket, and soft line off the zj. clearancing the hole took a little while to get it right and get the four stud holes to line up. got the proportioning valve but read on naxja it wasnt needed so i didnt put it on. works fine 2 months now. used 2 tiny u clamps to hook the  ebrake  together. the hardest part of all was pulling the little tiny funky bolt in the pumpkin assembly to remove the cross pin its like a 7.5 mm. hope it helps
build it, beat it, break it, fix it, repeat
