I have a 71 Dart that I have put an 8 3/4 rear out of an 74 D200 in. I got a set of axles from moser with 5 on 4 bolt pattern. The problem I am running into now is that the truck had 10 by 2 1/2 in brakes and the drum for that are 5 on 4 1/2, and the brakes for the dart are of course 10 by 1 3/4. When I put the 10 by 1 3/4 drum on the car I have a huge gap between the backing plat the the drum, and center hole in the 10 by 2 1/2 drum is larger the the one the 10 by 1 /3/4 drum so I am nervous about how well the drums will stay centered if I get them redrilled.

Any ideas, or does anyone know of a mopar that used the larger drum with the smaller bolt pattern?
 
I have not because I got the axle from a 74 D200 and it did not come with the 1 3/4 backing plates.
