E-Brake help please

Yes, a very small piece of the end tips are bent about 45* on the sets I pictured.
Not at all like the ones you pictured and said the 10" pieces were the "same exact shape" and "the set on my challenger looked exactly like the 11" ones I posted above".
Not trying to be too picky here, but it is clearly visible and a fairly large difference.

So show pictures of the strut bars removed from the brakes and not on edge from the bar so that the lack of curvature is obvious. Because I see the pictures you posted, and what you're describing is NOT obvious. And the second set of pictures I posted ARE all 10" brake bars, the stamped part #'s match the factory parts book. The shape is the same as the 11's I posted.

Which makes complete sense, because the axle flange offset and backing plate offset are identical for the 10x2.5 and 11x2.5" brakes. There's only one flange offset for BBP brakes, so the 10" brake struts and 11" brake struts have to clear the exact same obstacles, namely the protrusion on the backing plate where the plate bolts to the housing. Same depth on both plates, just a different width.

I'll pull the bars from my '71 Satellite and another set of 10x2.5's I've got tomorrow and take pictures. I'll even mount them on a set of 10x1.75's if I have the time. The 10's all interchange. The 11's all interchange. I suspect the 9's all interchange, but I haven't seen any of those in person to know myself, all my cars came with 10" brakes.
