So I finally broke down and bought a 8 3/4 small bolt pattern differential. Unfortunately the brake backing plates are damaged. Any know if they are reproduced? I can find all the other brake parts in need.
It's out of 1971 Demon that sat in field for 30+years. It's a small bolt pattern. The brake drums are shot. There badly rusted.Someone just posted some for sale.
What do you know about this rear?
Is it a REAL A body 8 3/4?
Is it 5x4" bolt pattern?
If your drums are 10x1.75 and turnable do that.
Post some photos of the backing plate dammage
I don't know what the difference between the a,b,c and e body backing plates. I haven't made it over to where I store the differential. Maybe tomorrow I can get over there tomorrow to take pictures. I could probably repair them, but I would by new ones if they weren't too pricey.Do you know the difference between A body backing plates and B,C,E body backing plates?
You might want to pressure test the housing to becsure there are no pin holes.
Still looking for photos of the 10x1.75 backing plates damaged areas
