1. Is there a cheaper non-oem source for backing plates? Mine have seen 20+ years of Illinois road salt, and junkyard one's dont look any better. Mine are heavily rusted.
Call me a tightwad, but I'll be damned if I have to pay $65 for one backing plate, I balk at price of a simple sheet of pressed metal.
2. The previous owners did away with the parking brakes. Don't ask me why, but I'm guessing because I have an automatic, they rust insanely fast, and Illinois does not have inspections.
Can I put all the hardware inside the drums, and not have e-brake cables hooked up, or must they be there for the brakes to work?
