Rear brake dimensions??
I am trying to figure out what rear axel to go for for my build but I am abit confused when it comes to rear brakes.
Here comes a number of questions:
What are the dimension for the rear brakes on a 1956 Dana 44 axel
Diameter?
Width?
Brake offset?
The once I have now on the Dana 41 is:
11" diameter
1 3/4" width
1 3/4" backspace
I figured my brakes would fit on a stock big bearing 9" rear but they have apparently 2 3/8" backspace or 2 1/2" for the small bearing design,
So it looks to me like I might haveto upgrade to 2 1/4" rear brakes if going for the 9" (its piling up) or do anyone have any other opinonin.
Will a rear brake upgrade to 2 1/4" effect the brake distribution front/rear?
Are there any kit for upgrading the front brakes with wider drums?
What is the stock width in front? same as rear?
Well atleast I figured out that the rear brakes I have today wont fit a standard 9" despite they have the same big ford ends.
All feedback is appreciated.
