I am impressed with your brackets. I am definately interested in a set. I just have one question, I'm curious as to why you didn't install the backing plates???

The disc backing plates won't fit on drum trailing arms with these brackets. I suppose brackets could be made so that they could be fitted, but the circumstances of their addition would require more $$, which was outside the scope of this project.

IMO, their importance is negligible.

Props on engineering this part on your own. Would hate to see others bank on your exact design. Trade secrets are a bitch.
