Quote: I've done it on my 8 3/4. The fifth hole needs drilled, easy. I used the green bearings and I machined a step in the bracket so that the snap ring would sit in the bracket exactly the same distance of the old drum backing plate. The only thing that I didn't consider was the thickness of the rotor which was thicker than the drum, so.....the whole rearend is a little wider like 1/4 total so an 1/8 wider on both sides. Hope this makes since.
Lee, did you have to use the green bearings? It sounds too easy... drill the 5th hole and it all falls into place? You even used your original e-brake cables? Is the thickness of the bracket which replaces the drum backing plate the same as the drum backing plate. More details please and THANKS!
