Jacques, you can probably buy them also in a 0.004" or 0.007" oversize as well.
As your cup says "use with expander" I hope you have them as well.

Hi Lynn,

Thanks for that info. Yes I assume the expanders are the thin steel backing plates. If so I have them, Front NOS, rear not perfect but usable I think. Have heard some say they are not needed but if the original ones had them its good enough for me to use them too.

Anyone have 4 x NOS 1-1/2" Rear expander/backing plates? Never saw any in any catalog.

Cheers,

Jacques

Cheers Jacques for the heads up. I'm heading into town today so I will go visiting some brakes shops.
Thanks Keith, looking forward to seeing if my number is present in your lists.

This was a "Truck, 3-ton Machinery" with engine number listed as 3G7700F which is one digit less than normal, perhaps a clerical error. Sold back to Ford.

This would explain the absence of bolt holes for the spare carrier and tool box...

I'm dirty, my fingers are aching and I came close to cutting a vein when my drill got caught in my glove and quickly twisted up. Must have been a good day in the shed.
It's snail's pace but it is progressing.

Ryan where are the pictures? When I was at school back in the dark ages it was drummed into us, no gloves near any rotating tool.
