Title: EK Brakes on to FC Backing plates Post by: zulu on August 27, 2007, 05:41:03 PM I am thinking of doing a radical brake upgrade, :P EK Drums & Shoes onto FC Backing plates.
Has anyone done this before? would I need to change the backing plates over, as the EK Shoes are slightly wider.

I did this many years ago on an FC and yes I had too change the backing plates as the shoes just won't fit properly if you don't, hopes this helps.
