Rear Brake Dilemma

Used to be able to click on my tiny pictures to expose huge ones...I'll have to look into that.

My axles are SBP and the drums have been drilled for that so they have both patterns...I'm thinking of just going with new axles with a BBP.

The axles are SBP? Well, that's your problem. :banghead:

They never made SBP 11" rear drums. So, you have 11" BBP drums and backing plates that were drilled for SBP. Problem is, as I mentioned above, SBP axles and BBP axles do not have the same flange to housing offset. Which is why you have those "spacers" on your studs.

Yikes. #-o

So, the good news is that you can probably just re-use the brakes you have (without the spacers!) if you buy a set of BBP axles.
