I picked up an XJ 44 rear a while back but it was missing the shafts and brakes. I just finally picked up a set of shafts for it. I am going to run disks on it. Here's my question: when I slide the shafts into position with the bearing seated in the race, the seal sticks out about 5/16" or so and there is a space between the housing flange and the mounting plate. I am assuming that the brake backing plate must have occupied this space. So do I have to find a set of 44 brake backing plates to cut down to act as a spacer, or does someone make them, or do I have to fab some, or am I just seeing this all wrong? I apologize if my terminology is off.
Any help is very appreciated!
