Editing Talk:Mopar tapered axle rear brake conversion

{{Template:Sign1}}
The earlier Mopars have tapered rears too. My '40 plymouth has a tapered rear axle with the exception of it having the lockheed type non self adjust brakes on it instead of the shown articles self adjusting bendix type. What I don't readily know is if my '40 rear axle is an 8.75 or not, or if the newer bendix brakes could be swapped onto my rear axle...either way, to have an easier time of removing my rear brake drums via this article would be a godsend! Would the supplied brake drum part number work for a '40?
Thank you for the article and your time!!!--[[76.202.226.158]] 10:33, January 29, 2012‎

This is a very good article, but I think it apply to 1960's cars. I have a 1956 Chrysler New Yorker (Service Manual said it has 8.75 rear axle) and this car doesn't have the self-adjusting brake system, the backing plate is complete different, even the measure of attaching holes to the house,then you can not adapt a newer backing plate. I say this because I bought a set of backing plate from a 1972 and holes do not match with holes in differential house. The 1956 carries the seal in the backing plate while newer car the seal are install at the end of the house.
