Hobby Fan Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Found on another site: -First off, to clear up some mis-conceptions, a rear end is NEVER measured from backing plate to backing plate. That measurement tells you absolutely nothing because there are so many different backing plates, brake offsets and brake shoe widths. ALWAYS measure a rear end from the outside of the axle flange to the outside of the axle flange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
