Are backing plates the same for all 10 inch brakes?10x1 3/4,10x2 1/2??I just went to put my new drums on to see fitting,and they are not seating on center of axel.Any help would be appreaciated.Thanks
Well I laid down the original 10x1 3/4 plate beside a 11 inch brake backing plate and the center is higher on the 11,s.I,m only off by 1/4 inch.So I,m wondering if a backing plate for 10x2 1/2 would have a higher center than the 10x1 3/4 ??
I think I follow you. Yes, the 2 1/2" drum backing plates would sit higher than the 1 3/4". What size are you trying to run? I have a set of 10 x 1 3/4" backing plates under my workbench. I snagged a set of 2.5's off a dodge pickup for my rear end.
The 10x2.5 backing plates are diff. than the 1.75 ones. The drums are different too. They must be moved as at set (drums/backing plates). The axle length should be 28" if replacing the sbp to lbp.
Thanks for reply,s.I had bought a 72 Demon 8 3/4 housing with a box of stuff containing B.plates and other misc. parts.When ordering drums and shoes I went the bigger not thinking I,d have to change the plates.Well the Moser axels came in and when I went to fit everything,the drum just sat on the center of axel(shy by almost 1/2 inch)Grrr!Back to the parts store.
