Nope...the backing plates won't work. I tried it over the summer
I even re-drilled 'em on a drill press. You have to get the brakes from an 8 3/4" rear.

Thinking about a change of the 7 1/4 housing to a 8 3/4 in my Scamp. I know I have to change the shock mounting plates, what else will have to be changed? backing plates & etc? |

Does the car have the small 5 on 4 lug pattern or the bigger 5 on 4 1/2? You will need the shock plates, U-bolts and the driveshaft eill need to be shortened about 1 3/4 inches DD |
