I have used Ford drums and 41 Lincoln backing plates, as well as the 41 Lincoln drums/backing plates, but the latter was on 32-34 spindles.

I did try the 41 Lincoln drums on 40 spindles with Ford backing plates and had the same spacing issue.

Tyrell Pennington @tradrod1930 on IG went through this same ordeal and ended up making spacers for the backing plates.
