Redfish- Thank you for your reply. No smokers here or ever in my classic car but there’s something about pushing the lighter to watch it and hear it pop out, seeing the familiar glow of the coils while imagining the idea of smoking being so common back then that we needed our own lighter just a...

Working on a dash for my 1970 Duster and I have similar concerns about cigar lighter power feeds. I am working the dash on a bench setup and going through the connections but I am not clear about the power feeds for two lighters, one in the ashtray compartment and the other on the front of the...

Time, patience and skill. I would normally be afraid of something like that but not after seeing Hoosier Garage on YT. You got this

Just came across your post. I’m restoring a 70 Duster as well so you definitely have my attention! Doing one thing every day moves the project forward regardless how insignificant it may seem. It maintains momentum

Are the bolts the same 70-72? I picked up a 72 hood and hinges for my 70 and have three bolts with larger washers than what came off my 70. I feel like I maybe lost one or mixed something up.

Please try again I just cleared it thank you

Does anyone have a parts car they could cut this triangular piece out of? I believe it is 70 Duster specific but could use help identifying other applications if known. Thanks in advance. Ben

I compared the old 2.5” setup that came off the car with LBP axles and the plates in question and they are both 1.75 flange offset Clearly the plates are the problem here Thanks to all for the responses and informative details.

1 1/16” flange to rub pad 1 23/32” Flange hight (Offset) and I guess we can call that 1 3/4” Does that make them LBP backing plates?

Can anyone tell from this picture if its pressed on far enough? Passenger side axle length 27 1/2” splined end to the back of the flange. 25 3/4” splines to the mounting plate.

I’ll measure this as well tomorrow. Thanks for providing the specs

Great info thanks for sharing this. I’ll disassemble everything tomorrow, measure the backing plates and post pics tomorrow. The shoes and cast color drums are from a local guy on Long Island who sells Mopar parts and the black drums are from an ebay seller who had already sold 28 drums neither...

Maybe I said it wrong and caused confusion. The backing plates on the car are said to be for the 1.75 A Body brakes and the axles on the car are SBP. The 2.5 backing plates are not on the car. They are what I took off along with the LBP axles. These are not going back on the car.
