What does a Glide need for My Level?

You can switch back and forth between shafts with a bushing in the stator support. And Paul has brought up an issue if your brake is a pro brake it will need the solenoid to back up. If it's a standard style brake you can put a modulator plug in it. A picture of the trans-brake valve will tell the story. Yes you can get .090 and .060 friction plates from alto. You can get them, a gasket and seal kit (the race kit will come with Teflon rings), band and any bushings you need from any Transtar warehouse.

 Sounds good! Thanks so much for the advice!
I did everything on the car engine --just want to learn the glides so I can say I have done it all--you know
Thanks again gang!!!!!

Here are two pix of the brake I picked up Sat at the local racers swap meet--I am thinking it will work well for me as I all I plan is to footbrake--so no need to swap it for a plain manual
Came with the TSI solonoid --I think the spring from under the plunger is missing but otherwise--thought I would yank it apart and clean it up--check it out. I noticed on Ebay that they offered valve body gaskets that in the words of the ad were "TSI Specific"  duh...don't you think one ofthe ones in a kit will work--I mean--I can compare holes etc for sure
If it is a press button to back up well...it is for sale :)
My car has less than 4 ft of wire--keeping it old school as possible and besides I LOVE to foot brake race--have all my life

CASE Question--
I bought a Glide case that has bell cut off--I have apsre Ultra Bell so --guy said it was AOK they just moved up to aftermarket case so--I get it home--am cleaning it up and when you look from the rear--the hole near the "horseshoe" had a set screw to block it--also another set scre to block the hole at the 11 o clock position I am seen pointing to--I have been reading--Now , I am a rookie here--that those holes were to be enlarged etc did not think they were to be blocked??
Tell me what to do --you know my plan--use that brake--footbrake only--
The newish pump I bought still has the little roll pin and priming valve in normal position--but has new stator tube installed, new gear set, all lapped and pretty looking--passages look to be drilled out etc
It has not been drilled out to lube the thrust washer or across the the end of the hub

The 11 o clock hole is the stock feed hole for a rear pump style case, the other hole is blocked to the rear support but should be open to the piston area. Putting plugs in the rear support side of the passages insures no leakage to that part of the case. This is done for a solid apply of the reverse clutch. The valve body you bought is a pro brake and will need the solenoid installed and hooked up to have reverse.
