<VV> (no subject)

have a question. I heard this has been talked about on VV before but  
I missed the boat.

I have a 63 Corvan in the shop and just had the rear axle rebuilt. We  
put in a beefier late model car guts inside the early axle housing  
and we are using the early car yoke that bolts to the guts in the  
axle housing. The yoke in this set up sticks farther out than the  
truck yoke did which does not have the bolt on feature.

So when we slide in the half shaft, we have a space between the brake  
backing plate and the control arm assembly. We need to make a spacer  
between the brake backing plate and control arm assembly. Does any  
one know the correct thickness? I suppose this is important for the  
rear wheel bearing. We think the spacer should be .390" thick for  
both side on each axle. Is that close enough?
