WTB 11" rear brake backing plates

[hunt2elk]

Anybody got a decent pair of these? For a 69 Bee. Not certain about the year range, but do know that 8 3/4 and Dana are the same. Mine have some broken tabs that I have never happen seen before.

I don’t think this tabs do anything any way?

I am not really sure to be honest The fsm calls them piston stops.

For safety when some dummy jumps on the brakes without drums on!

What width brake shoes 2.5"?

Look under Mech Parts For Sale, pg 3, 11" Backing Plates, from "hemi71x". I picked up a set from him, and they are excellent. You'll have them in a few days also...

You think I am worrying about nothing and should use them?

I see one of his is missing the bracket completely, and the other the tabs are way shorter than mine. His are off a later model truck though.

I think I might have a set and can look when I get home if you don’t find by then

I think they just keep the pistons from coming out when the shoes are off. My 67 coronet does not have them. I think they pissed somebody off when installing the cyls. and they twisted them off. I can't see how else it would happen. I would smooth off the broken ends, and call it done.

I am liking that idea. Just never have seen them broke like this. Fairly thick metal that would take quite a bit of force to get them to break.

None on the '66/67 rear end that's in mine with 10" drums.

The only reason the piston stops are so thick is because they are part of the doubler plate, which needs to be quite strong.

Unless your displaying your brake hardware at a show......I wouldn't even think of replacing them......
