Re: 9" housing ends/stock drum ?'s

My ends are similar, but looks like the bottom bolts are closer together. I just drilled the holes needed to mount the backing plate. Should put either a big washer or plate with the big bolt for the wheel cylinder to stiffen it up to the backing plate. I didn't put that there and the bolt/cylinders are a little tweaked, but still work fine.

geez, just looked at the pic and didnt know they would blow up so big, guess i shoulda cleaned off the pool table a little lol. anyway,is that the only option or just the only thing that u thought up? also this will be street driven some so the tweaked wheel cylinder would kinda make me a lil uneasy.

I just wasn't about to spend a bunch of money on rear brakes that had nothing wrong with them, but like I said just a washer or something should stiffen up the wheel cylinder/ backing plate there. I bet you could fairly easily put some LS1 rear disk with emergency drum on that too.
