Narrowed 8 3/4 questions
Ok. Pumpkin/axles
So there is a metal divider down in the center of that pumpkin. It does have lateral movement as when i touched it with tape measure it moved 1/8"+\-.
The distance to the divider is the same as the distance from the adjuster to the end of axle.
23 5/16"+\-
Note these are not stock length axles as the diff has been narrowed.
Brakes
I feel that shaving 1/8" off the backing plate as it shows wear marks at various "o'clocks", would be putting the shoe in a fine position. Note that the shoe wear marks on the new drum. It is wearing on the drum towards the inside and after shaving it would be more towards the mounting surface aka outside with about 1/2" not being contacted.... on the outside... clear as mud??
