I did loose some rear braking when I changed over to the 9 inch brakes
a few years ago, but I was able to live with it until I got these
excellent front brakes now. I think the rear discs will have to be a
winter project, and I will put my 10 inch steel drums and shoes back
on for the rest of the season. Thanks to everyone who replied with
info on the rear brakes. Joe(B)
