Are 8 1/4" and 8 3/4" backing plates interchangeable? I have an 8 3/4" rear with pretty rusty backing plates and I have an 8 1/4" rear laying in the driveway with good backing plates. Both are 10" X 2 1/2". I seem to remember that they do interchange but figured I ask here first.

I've interchanged them with zero issues.
