I've got 12" x 2" drum brakes on my 1982 EZ-Loader single axle. I need to replaced the backing plate on each brake assembly. Not the springs, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, etc., just the plate that all the crap mounts on.
So far, I've called Dave's trailers (my local shop) and been on the websites of Champion trailers and Eastern Marine, and it seems as though I have to buy the entire brake assembly, just to get the mouting plates.
Is this really true? That just seems dumb to me.....
Anybody know where I can get just the mounting plates for 12" drum brakes?
And please, don't tell me to upgrade to discs. I'm looking for the cheap and easy way out here. [
] If I can't find the plates, then I'll consider discs as they are almost the same price as my enormous drums.
