Rear disc Brakes on 8 3/4

If I may say nice machining. You how ever still have to get a longer axle, and build spacers for the bearing package to push the bearing back into the tube. Dont forget that.This is exactly the same problem created with the Jeep Cherokee swap.

I will first add this is done manually. I do not have a cnc machining center.

On the jeep cherokee swap the problem is that the mounting plate is behind the bearing retainer. (Between the retainer and the flange.) I have studied that setup as well because i was originally going to use that idea. The mounting plate is 5/16 which pushes the bearing retainer out causing someone to need longer axles and use the spacer on the axles before the bearing.
It would be described like this. Flange, caliper mounting plate, bearing retainer.

On this setup the plate is on the front side of the bearing retainer. So it has no effect on the bearing at all. If you look closely at the pictures you will understand what i mean. In a perfect world t is almost to the point that you would not even need to adjust the bearing retainer
This setup, i have a plate as a spacer to act as the backing plate, then the bearing retainer, then the caliper mounting plate. This idea takes away needing the longer axles and needing to change bearings or use the green bearings.
