Rear Brake Hardware Interchange - 01/02/09 10:17 PM
Hello all,
I'm assembling my '68 or so 8 3/4 B-body axle for my duster and I didn't get any brake parts with it other than the 10" drum backing plates. I do still have the 10" drum brakes left over from my '70 Duster's original 7.25. I know the brakes are different widths but I need to know if I can swap some of the parts over.
Specifically, I'd like to re-use the following parts from the narrow 7.25" brakes:
Strut/Anti-Rattle Spring
Parking Brake lever
Push Rods
Adjuster/Adjusting Lever/Adjusting Cable/Cable Guide
and the anchor.
Will these parts swap on to my 10x2.5" B-body backing plates? There's no need for me to hunt down new ones if these will work (and nobody seems to want my old brakes anyway). Has anybody done this?
