Coop and Tom...good catch. I rebuilt this car. It's been a bunch of years but I wouldn't have put undersize bolts in the backing plate and I likely reused the bolts that were in there when I took it apart. I replaced the nuts with modern ones. I think the nuts that were on there were rusted badly so I replaced them with modern castellated nuts and they were too tall and the hole wasn't exposed. Being from Fairbanks, and knowing the car wouldn't be driven that much...I went with what I could get. I should fix this now that I'm in the lower 48. I see that the brake cylinder only has 3 bolts in it as well. I wouldn't have left that out so it must have been a fitment thing. I hate seeing the undercarriage look like it does in that picture. I spent a lot of time cleaning 70 years worth of crap off of that stuff and now it's going to hell. Everything on the top side is doing great though. Hoop...not to pick pepper out of knat ****...it's a 35
As far as I know, the wheel cylinders are only supposed to have three bolts in them.
