The grinders are hard to find because of "environmental/ health issues"  60-62? backing plates will not let you just put on 64 drums , finned or not. You will end up with a lot of hard work , not returning that much better braking.so focus on the rears.Of course I am assuming all the rest of the system is all carefully  redone.Regards, Tim Colson  C N Y C C.
