??brake backing for 65 stude question??

Hi all,

Just need to know if the rear backing plate of a 65 can be made to work on the front of a 65 stude..? I know I would need to take the Emergency cable out... what else... if possible??

Also... on a 59- 62 lark... the rear end is a 3.73 and on the same tag are the numbers: 41-11 what are those numbers??? model??? I am Duh on these numbers... Thanks, Mike M.

On the backing plate, it wont work. The rear backing plate, should be 1 inch smaller than the front.

41-11. Divide 41 by 11 and should work out to 3.7272727272 etc IOW 3.73 ratio.

well... I took the wheels and drums off today and whaaaala... nothing under the drum... they had been scavenged.. don't know by who...and are gone...

These would need to be for a V8... it had a 283 V8 in it. thanks Nate, Mike M.

Hey Mike,

What do you need in backing plates? 10" (six cylinder) or 11" (V-8) I have both here.
