7 1/4 BRAKES ON 8 3/4 REAR?
« on: September 07, 2009 - 10:12:08 AM »
I'm putting an 8 3/4 rear on my car, I've currently got a 7 1/4 rear on the car. Will my 7 1/4 rear brake set up bolt on the 8 3/4 rear?

Yes , the backing plates will have the 5 bolt pattern for the 8 3/4 flange

Even the stock brake lines from the 7 1/4  fit the 8 3/4! :2thumbs:
