This pertaines to my 1985 f150 with a 8.8 inch rear end but same system as all classic stangs....
Today i was replacing my ebrake cables and while i was reasembling my brakes i noticed the contact points between the backing plates and the brake shoes are seriously worn.... there are deep groves in them from years and years and miles and miles of wear... what is the danger in this?? what is a fix for this??? i thought about grinding them flat but there isnt much metal to work with on those backing plates.... i did as i usally do and wire wheeled the contact points and applied a little anti seize compound to them....
any tips or tricks boys???
b.t.w. the brakes work and act just fine as it sits right now.....
