Drum brake interchange

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going through my garage getting ready for Winter,
and drug out my brake collection (4, 6 and 8
collection). The Wagner and Bendix big drums/backing
plates will interchange within the same specific car
application, but some years and applications are
different. So if you are talking about a 66 Rogue V8,
fer instance, either brands will work. But the 66 will
be diff than other years. Front and rear will not
interchange though you can knock out the hub from the
front thinking it will work. Small brakes (from early
Ramblers) have different back spacing so there are
somethiong like 6 or 8 diff applications. 
The big backing plates will fit on the small cars axle
flange with some clever fixin'. I put V8 rear drums on
an Americans axle with nothing more than drill, file
and trial/error.
