8.75 backing plates

[madmax/6]

For weight saveings I cut my backing plates too much.I need a pair of backing plates for 10 inche drums 2 inches wide.Car went from low 1.50 60 fts to 1.60s cause I cant hold the car at the line above 2500 rpm with a 4000 stall converter.Before I butchered my backing plates I could footbrake to about 3000.11.43 second car.Guzzi Mark

I have a set. they are 10 x 2 1/2" I believe there B body and would work. If it helps I can blast them and primer them?

I dont know if they are the same,my thinking is the 2.5 b body ones would not put the shoes where they need to be on my drums.I will do more resurch and I dont need clean,The nastier ugly greasey pair is better cause I get gratifacation getting them nice.One look at my hands and you would understand.Will get back to you when I figure out if they will work.THANK YOU.Mark

I thought they were just dished deeper on the back. But sure let me know.

If you think they will work I would buy and try.How much?Mark

If you have A-body axles B-body backing plates won't work because the flange offset isn't right. The extra shoe width is split between the front and back.

Do you want small or big bolt backing plates.
