'73 A-Body caliper backing plates

[bmxican]

I have a pair of 1973 Dodge Dart disc brake spindles and upper control arms. I want to put these in my 1967 Barracuda, all drum SL6.

I can get most of the brake parts from Kragen/O'Rilley's (loaded calipers from Cardone, rotor/hub assembly from Bendix, wheel bearings, etc). but I can't seem to be able to find backing plates for the calipers.

Where could I find some? Thanks for the help!

Do you mean dust shield?(caliper backing plate?)In my Hayes manual,it says you don,t really need them,they just collect dust.Believe it or not!

run without the plate less issues with dirt & rocks

i have one aluminum and one steel on my 69. the aluminum one is rough, next time i have it apart im going to just yank them off.

Any later B, F, J, M or R body will work, even the 11.75" ones are the same, just bolt them on and go.
