11" brakes - 09/21/11 03:35 AM
Does anyone know if you can put 2 1/2 brakes on 2 1/4 backing plates using the 2 1/2 brake drum? Roughly measuring, the back depth is the same as the 10 1/2 backing plate. I'm thinking I can buy the hardware kit for the 2 1/2 shoes and the length of the axle stickout will make up the difference. I think the backing plates are off a 66 Coronet? I'm putting them on a 74 Charger. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.
