not really any 'fitting' involved - there's a slight shoulder at the back of the spindle, the shield sits on it [hole makes it snug, never seen one welded from the factory], the bearing and the back of the hub sit against it so it can't go anywhere .... not sure how tapered rollers would fit there, but if they sit in the hub the same way should work
