i have had the unfortunate pleasure of piecing together rear drum brakes from scratch. 1/2 way thru the project i learn that FoMoCo had 2 different size drums and two different size shoes for the same application. i have called several Mustang shops in the area and not a single person can tell me what the difference in 10"x1 3/4" and 10"x2" drum brakes are......well, besides the obvious 1/4". also, does anyone out there know if the backing plates are the same size? The application for this mess is a 68 coupe with a 302 and an 8" rear-end.
thanks in advance.
