Mystery backing plate from unknown 8" still need help

Still need help to ID the mystery backing plate in the thread I put on at 9:55 PM yesterday (Tuesday) Someone must know what it is from. Thanks Again Dave

 

I had a similar problem with my 8" - the backing plates were odd ball. I ended up getting some off a mustang 8" and drilling the holes to fit the flange on the axle. Is the flange on the axle flush with the end of the housing or does the alxe stick past and make a lip?

I have some extra backing plates if you need them.

Good luck with your problem

Like I said in the other post - could be a Mustang II 8 inch.

There is a Mustang II forum here, http://forums.stangnet.com/forumdisplay.php?f=142

Why don't you post your measurements on there and see if anyone can confirm them.
