Im not sure what there called but its the rubber pads that go in the shock plates. Its a 8 3/4 if that makes a difference but what I need to know what there called and whats the best place to get them?
Question is can I use what I have or do I have to change it over?
Stock A-body brakes are 10x1 3/4(SBP) and I beleive C-body are 11x2 1/2 inch brakes (LBP)If your gonna swap axels to LBP,just mention that your using the 11x2 1/2 inch brakes.Parts for the 10x1 3/4 brakes are getting harder to find,so I,ve swapped all my backing plates and brakes to 10x2 1/2 for availability.The depth offset is different with Stock A-body backing plates.Question is can I use what I have or do I have to change it over?
I got the rearend out of a c-body can I use the stock plates or do I need to find some a-body ones?
Yes, use the C-body shock plates. Get the U-bolts too, if they are still salvagable, unless you want to buy new ones.
The C body shock plates for the Isolated suspension are going to have larger locating holes for the insulator pads if I recall correctly.
Yes, I believe so, but isn't it simple enough to weld a washer onto the C-body plates? That's what I used to do with the aftermarket spring perches.
