I rebuilt the original rearend 1965. It looks like I need a spacer between the flange and the drum backing plate. Where would I get this or will I have to make them ? The 65 rearend is like an inch narrower than the later one. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | You need to have the axles shortened and regrooved. That will correct the length difference.
