Is it possible to have 9" wheel cylinders on a 10" backing plate, I need to change one out and was surprised that it wasn't the shape of the 10" wheel cylinder, but the 9".. Thanks, need some help on this!!
Thanks, I did neither the 10" or the 9" inch looked like it, Dorman p/n W78734 and W34876 it has a 8.75 rear end. Thanks againCheck part numbers on rock auto
Tiny 1/4" bleeders were/are common on the older stuff. The older shoes simply had a blade that contacted the w/c piston, the later style shoe/wheel cyl. used a "ball & slot" strutHave another question, the side I have the picture on, has the smallest bleeder valve I have seen, anyone have any knowledge on this??? Thanks
Two different part stores carry the same brake cylinder, both call out that it is for the 66 with 10" drums and disc brakes, I installed a couple of washers on the new cylinder. I am going to shop for some new bolts with the washer being part of the bolt head. Thanks for your reply....The 66 wheel cylinder you have was probably for a 7.25" rear-end, which may be a different backing plate than for 8.75" rears like yours. As I recall, the rear wheel cylinders on my 1965 Dart (10" drums & 7.25" rear) have an oblong bulge, similar to what the post photo shows. The bulge fits tight into the hole in the backing plate as I recall, which helps secure it. I would change both sides to the better bolts if I was you. Did you try browsing Google Images for various backing plates?
