    What Year Roadmaster Backing Plates are the Same

    I have a 55 Buick and I am in the Process of upgrading the brakes. I am trying to find Roadmaster backing plates. Does anyone know what years will fit my fatory spindle? Im hoping someone has a Hollander manual or just knows from experience.

    From the Buick parts books:

    Front backing plates 5454166 from late 52 through 56 Roadmasters mount on the steering knuckle (spindle) used on the 55 Special. All 54-55 Buicks use the same steering knuckles 1391617 R & 1391618 L.

    Front backing plates from older (40 through 51) Roadmasters also fit, but they use the same 1325276 plates as already on the 55 Special.

    See attached images.
