Some folks over on the FL forum have mounted the later brake backing plates by drilling new holes and using aftermarket axles with Green bearings. The bearing race diameter is the same but the flange axle bearing collar hits the inner seal in the taper axle housing. The Greens need no inner seal. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway
