Re: [Amc-list] Torque tube axle, brake interchangability, 6 vs. 8

nope.  amc20 rears have a different bolt pattern from amc15s.

you could use late '70s - early '80s concord wagon, 258 spirit amx, or
eagle rear brakes; these are the same 10x1.75" drums used on amc20s
since '73 and on jeeps to '89, but with amc15 backing plates.  you can
find them on other models, but these are probably the most common.

btw the amc20, '80s dana 35, and xj/mj/yj dana 44 all have the same
housing flange pattern, also shared with some ford axles.  i believe
this has led to a ford rear-disk swap for jeeps.
