    taxing my memory here.... might need help on this
    they are 11", and they are used with flanged 1 piece axles
    so once again, I believe the backing plate bolt pattern is wrong
    they might work by redrilling a hole or 2 in the backing plate

    I used 11" backing plates off of a Jeep p/u and only had to drill 2 holes if that helps.

    The AMC 20 and Scout 2 Backing plates will NOT work. Different bolt pattern and Offset of the backing plates. The drums from the AMC if 11" will work. Correction, Front Scout 2 brakes will work but you must use all Scout hardware, shoes, drums, etc. as they are different from Jeep. The rears definitely won't work without a silly amount of money spent. Nickmil.
