Be aware that some guys need to relieve the edge of the backing plate a bit when fitting juice brakes to A rearends.
Thanks Alchemy. I’ll order them today. Speaking of backing plates, I got both the front and rear pairs from Speedway. Got their 1937 - 1948 Fotd style self-energizing ones. In the process now of perhaps returning them for a couple of reasons:
1. Even though they advertise 1937, my 37 drums require 1.75” wide shoes, and the backing plates came with 2” wide shoes.
2. Two of the backing plates that I started to use for mockup wouldn’t fit properly even with the shoes removed. After checking, I noticed that they were warped from likely when they welded on the block that the position mounts to. We’re talking about 2.5 mm of warpage from top to bottom
