He must use the stock A-body drums and have then redrilled, no other choice! Have him get on the computer and show him this thread. There are no more knowledgeable Mopar people in the universe than right here! 
I agree , by having them made with the small bolt pattern register you can't use the B body drum without having a spacer ring made to keep the drum centered and something to center the rim assuming he is using a hubcentric wheel.

He replied I like to use My stock brakes,
I then said I can redrill your stock drums to 5 on 4 1/2.
He said he didnt want to do that because it would weaken it.
And yet he was good with using the little brakes...unless the drum JohnRR has in mind uses the 7 1/4" flange offset same as A body, I see redrilling as the only solution. 
According to my 69 parts book it should, I'll find out soon enough and will make a depth measurement to the SBP drum.

John, I just re read the post, and if I read it correctly Mpetros said that the Moser axles have the A body flange offset AND center register. Back in the day, I knew of a '69 Satellite 4 dr, 318/904 that had the 7 1/4. The owners teenaged son abused that car to no end, did a large number of J burnouts, etc and never shelled the rear. The car finally died in a snowy ditch, axle intact. Only v8 powered B body I ever saw with that axle. Seen a few sixes tho. It had regular 4 1/2" BC 14" wheels, far as I know with big car size register. I don't know what brakes it used, tho.
It takes gasoline to interest me.

I haven't looked into it yet but i'm sure the axle can be had wit hA body offset and LBP register. To me it's silly to make it with the LBP and the small register .

My dad had a 69 Belvedere with the same setup that should never have survived the abuse I dished out to it.
