maybe its for wilwoods nececary but not for standard sierra.

Have you tried fitting the back plate?

I think it was the opposite corners that needed grinding off.

Why would you need to sand them down?

Think it depends upon what donor the rear brakes came off. I can't remember whether my drums were the larger or smaller sierra ones, but I didn't have to grind anything off. If yours appear to fit with no fouling, go for it.....

I made a upright and had to grind them.
It's is that the back-plate for drum-brakes don't fit.

Did you get the plates to fit after all the woes in your previous post?
