Rear brake drums
Am building a MK indy R and useing a XR4i doner the problem is the rear drums dont fit flush to the upright as I have been told before. I am
considering fitting a 10mm spacer between the back plate and upright. this will then push out my drive shafts and wheel 10 mm any one done this before
will the wheel be out of the wheel arch and fail SVA and will the spring loading in the drive shafts take the extra 10mm
Great fun this car building thing even the dog enjoys watching.

Don't know the answer but isn't the XR4i disk brakes all round?

Did you tell mk what type of braking system you were going to use.
As their are are different uprights for drum or disc application.

rearbrake drum
Hi there i had same problem on luego rear hub carrier, made up 10mm spacer, and caused a problem with drive shafts not going into diff far enough, so
ditched the spacer and just ground off the high spots preventing the backplate from fitting flush, until a nice flush fit was achieved the bolted up
as normal, jobs a goodun.
