The first picture you posted. Does the brake mounting bracket act as a retainer or are you missing the axle retainer plate? Greg, do you remember?
The wider step of the seal should be flush to the housing end.

What were we talking about.....??? LOL


I don't remember what any of the parts he got look like -- they are off the Mustang we BMR / Ron Sutton replaced all my suspension. I just handed him a whole bunch of crap and said use what you can.

I've done a few of these brake swaps and I think that they're all basically the same with variations in the brackets etc.

What I don't want to mislead him on - or anyone else - is that we don't know the origins of the parts.... or their condition... etc. So I'm always cautious about just saying - "IT'S FINE". I'd rather have them check into the dimensions etc.... and make sure the tolerances are okay. What's loose to one guy is perfect for someone else that's done it a few times. But we're not there to feel or see.

Reminds my of Rudy's rear end that had Oldsmobile ends on a Ford 9".... Who does that!!??!! LOL
