You mean we were chasing our tails for a plug that was never used from the factory? :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:

Good advice on posting a picture.
Some backing plates for the 10 x 2 1/2 application were dual drilled at the factory for e brake cables and a 9/16 rubber plug inserted in the unused hole.
 
I did away with the whole emergency brake assembly when I had the rear narrowed and left the hole open I figured the air flow would help the brakes cool. And my car hasn't seen rain since 1989 so Im not worried about water getting in the brakes

Rain really isn't the main issue, its the small rocks that just seem to find their way thru the holes in the backing plates and into the brake drums that do the damage.

In that case, l think l will install a piece of screen in the e-brake Lin hole and cut out a portion of the backing plate to let any small foreign objects fall out and back onto Mother earth.
Thanks for the idea.
