Title: rear wheel cylinder bolts and backing plate plugs
Post by: musclecarman15 on September 01, 2021, 04:49:06 PM
need clarification on 70 shelby gt350 rear backing plate plugs...i have one KH and one Bendix backing plate...which type plug(8a or cross hatch ) goes on which one and which bolts (recessed head or solid ) goes on which backing plate wheel cylinder. when i disassembled(rear backing plates and wheel cylinders) i got the bolts mixed up. i know the cylinders are 7/8 and same right to left....have seen originals with two different type markings...one with about 5-6 numbers like a vendor code and others with number like 1a and nothing else...was there two suppliers? thx keith if someone had a picture of original wheel cylinder would help...thx again keith...also where the wheel cylinder boots all marked with kelsey hayes

KH plug had the cross hatch and Bendix had the 8A. I will leave the other questions for others .
