Title: Rear backing plates/HiPo heads
Post by: roddster on October 08, 2023, 12:06:59 PM
  Looking for a pair of rear backing plates that will work on a 10 X 2 1/2 rear brake conversion.  Include price in reply, and where they are.
  Looking for a pair of 66 date coded (June/July/August) usable hipo heads.  Be prepared to answer any questions.
  Thank you.

On backing plates. Try looking at Ford Aerostar ('86-'87), as some had 10x2.5" using the 169 shoe. Can't recall but I think the bolt pattern for the flange needs to be redrilled, but the bearing center hole is the same as Mustang. Aerostar drums also work but think they need spacer rings?
