Will the stock brakes from an 8 3/4 swap to a new S60 rear?

it depends on what ends they put on the housing, I got mine with the larger set 20 bearings & had to grind the hole in the backing plate a little to go over the bearing.

the stock 5 bolt mopar end is 2.875 ID, the larger 5 bolt mopar end is 3.150 ID & has the same bolt pattern as the smaller bearing end, just grind the Backing plate to clear.

So with a little grinding on the 8 3/4 backing plate to clear the bearing the rest of the components will fit?

if I understand what you are asking, all the braking parts hang off the backing plate.
so as long as you can get the backing plate to fit the tubes, the rest is independent of that.
I have a full set of 11 inch hardware just hanging off the backing plates. just unbolted them off the rear and disconnected the brake line and cable.
just haven't taken the time to rip the 10's off to put them on yet.

Copy that. I want to use the brakes from my stock 8 3/4 on the new S60. I know new brakes can be had with the S60 but that's another $400-500 depending on what you go with and there is nothing wrong with the current brakes. Thanks

Put stock 10" brakes from a volare on a new strange s60, after telling them I had loads of stock 10 by 2 1/2 backing plates and hardware. All fit well.

I didn't order it yet so not sure on bearing ends. Still have to research that. What did you get? I will order from Strange. Free shipping if ordered by 31 Jan.
