Now that I've replaced the rear axle in my 1965 Barracuda with one from a 1974 Duster (to get the LBP), there is a parking brake cable hole in each backing plate that should be plugged. The backing plates appear to be universal so that one plate will work on both sides. It's been a long while since I first pulled the new axle out of the Duster and I don't recall whether the holes were originally plugged. Maybe they got lost when I had the axle sandblasted.

I leafed through my 1975 service manual (should be close to 1974) but didn't see a PN for this item. Any suggestions for the best way to plug these holes?

We welded plugs in the ones for my Daytona.

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and look in their hardware thingies section. They usually have some snap-in plugs that may work. :D

Perfectly standard cheap off-the-shelf universal part from Dorman/HELP or NAPA Balkamp. Visit your nearest (real) parts store.

Wow, haven't used or worried about those ever. Don't drive my cars in snow anymore, though.
