Hey guys- I've been searching all around trying to find another backing plate for my race car project, but just can't seem to find a match. The best I can tell it's either a Ford 3/4 ton from the 50's, or a Buick. One set of holes fits the Ford spindle (the ones with white next to them), no idea on the other bolt pattern. Pretty sure they're 12x2 brakes, possibly a little wider. Overall backing plate is about 13.5", and the offset/indent is around 1.75" The front of my car has the Ford 3/4 ton snouts bolted on to it, which were popular with old racers. The drums that came on the car (which I plan to use) are the old aluminum wide 5 drums that used to be sold back in the day. The trouble is that the car didn't have any backing plates on the front of it... I managed to find this lone backing plate that fit it right on, and had clearance for everything else. There's an identical one on my Dad's car that runs the same aluminum wide 5 drum so I know it'll work- I just need to find another one to match! I appreciate any help you guys can give me.
