Guys have rebuild my back axle and now believe i have installed the brake backing plates (drum brakes) on the wrong sides. I have the book and its of no real help. Any chance i can get a photo?
Particularly after what side of the axle the parking brake cable leaves the backing plate.
Thank you
 
The parking brake entry holes exit at an angle, but towards the front of the car. If you have them arse about, they would be angling towards the back..
 
Mine are symmetric so it doesn't matter which side they go on as it has holes for either direction I believe, however, the brake cable holes are slightly different angles as you can see in the photo.

Idrivemopar... I'm looking at your pick and they look like mine. If so they are side specific. Unless there are other holes I can't see.
