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.

OK on the backing plate and the rear end ratio... That info will help be greatly...

Now I will be looking for a set of backing plates for 65 fronts...

Thanks a lot! C U later, Regards, Mike M.

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.

Thanks Lee... Regards, Mike M.
