Narrowed 8 3/4 questions

I see.

I have 11x3 drums.

the shoes are 2"

I bet the backing plates are correct for 11" as that lip fits exactly into the groove between the braking surface and outer lip. I could try 11x2 or probably 11x2.5 they would match the shoes on there.

If I got the 2.5" shoes on there, the problem remains as its the axles that determine how close the drum is to the backing plate.

This diff was narrowed by the previous owner, I believe it came with backing plates and I purchased the incorrect drums.

But as I previously stated, the axes would have to be longer......or.....i need to put a button in.

Does the divider in that set of pics make sense? Is that what the button rides against?

Which side recieves the button?

Does it push up against the divider and then the opposing axle pushes against the divider on the other side?

Thanks for the input.

My opening post did lack quite a bit. guilty.
