Alan is correct! At least a bazillion Model "A"s with hydraulic brakes are running-around with their rear backing plates mounted upside down, just because of that shock/spring mount interference. But simply turning the backing plates upside down is not the whole answer. You might want to read these two links below IN THEIR ENTIRETIES. Re-read if necessary to understand all of the implications. I like the method used in the first link. Your mileage may vary, though! DD
