I am picking up an A-Body 8.75 axle this weekend. The only drawback is that it only has the backing plates as far as the brake parts go. What is the easiest way to put some drum brakes on this thing? A couple things that might help:
1) I have already changed the front to Big Bolt Pattern so the rear would need to be 4.5" also.
2) Car currently has the original 7.25 rear under it.
I know I will have to re-drill or buy new axles. I have read a few other posts on this subject and have seen that the register is smaller for the smaller bolt pattern so the axles may still not work after being re-drilled. I hope I gave yall enough information. Thanks for the help- again
