May not be as elegant but I suppose you could use washers on the t-bolts to mock up everything before having a 1/8" shim made or machine the backing plate. You could verify the axle offset needs that way too if you choose to user the spacer.

I started mocking it up, I see what you mean about the calipers. It's a tight fit. I'm wondering what would happen if I mounted them to the rear (clocked 180* from stock)?

I have not taken exact measurements yet, but it looks like my new axle would need to extend out (increased offset?) from the housing an additional 3/8" for this to work. I measured some washers I had and found some that were really close to 1/8" to space out the backing plate.

I based my measurements on a 98 Camaro I have access to; I figured that if I match those measurements, the brakes should be correct.
