[FC] 62 Greenbrier axles

[Andy .]

I just reread this and saw you said "back plates"   After midnight here - that didn't register to me as "backing plates" like I call them.  Even so, it still sounds like the motor being too low would exacerbate that.  

 

I'd be worried about the stress you are putting on those bearing carriers with the washers.  They are designed to be fully supported - flush against the backing plate / A-arm. Have you considered what position your "modified" set-up experiences in the entire arc of suspension travel.  I would before I drove a 48 year old van at 100 feet per second (68mph) sitting 18" behind the front bumper with maybe/maybe not a lap belt on...lol

> I have a 62 Greenbrier that had a 4 sp. I put a P G in and it runs great. The problem I have is the both axles are rubbing the the top of the back plates. There also seems to be a larger gap at the bottom of the drum then at the top [\ I used the same axles etc. What I have done is put on 4 washers on the studs before installing both axles. That took care of the rubbing and the grinding. So a couple of things, one what caused it to grind, and two, will the washers hurt anything the way it is?
