Drum brake question

[C Body Bob]

Ok this is a non C body, but is a MOPAR question. On my D440 project. It has 10 inch rear brakes. I have misplaced the brake bar (part im pointing to in pic) and the swinging lever the E bark cable hooks too. I have several rears with 10 inch drums. So do all 10 inch drums have the same bar

The length should be the same.

The width is what I am unsure about, but if it doesn't hit anything, it should be good.

Can you match it with the other side?

Yea I can, I just don't want to rip the brakes off every tear I have. I'm hoping all the 10 inch have the same bar. The 8 & 1/4 rears I'm ok with using for parts. Hate to take my 8 & 3/4 rears apart

I've done countless drum brake relines. The 10" should all interchange.

Do you use the e-brakes? That is what the bar is for, if you don't need the e-brake you don't need the bar.

Keep the bar. You may need emergency brakes in an emergency!

 

[C Body Bob]

Yes I will need the E brake

If I ever get time to go back on it I have a 8 1/4 rear from an M body. Hopefully I can rob the parts from it

Where I live most people never use them, the cables rust up and they will never work if you need them.
