Hello, all: I converted the rear brakes on my "Knewport" to 3-inch rear brakes. What was needed to go from 2 1/2 inch to 3 inch drums and shoes are support plates that that can mount 3" shoes, hardware and a 3" brake drum. Mine works fine. Three-inch support plates drop back 1/2 inch to accommodate 3" drums on the axles.

These may be included under 300, wagon or HD suspension. Rich in Brentwood with a 300 Ram K car having HD brakes standard. 3” wide shoes & drums vs. 2 ½” on most other ’64 Chryslers. Came to me with 2 ½” shoes in the 3” drums. Worked OK, but t’warn’t right. Shoe lining material and length on different ‘64’s were different also, but that’s too much to ask.

Don't see it listed for this application on internet searches. Does anyone know of a source? I imagine this retainer length was used on other applications and would be willing to get a hardware set for that other application. Thanks. -- Ray Jones. Y'all come on down an see us.
