Default Re: 9" rear in a jailbar truck

Denny, my thought is it's under great compression when the 4 fine thread u bolts are torqued down. I don't think there will be any movement between that plate and the axle. When I pull the banjo axle out I will have two more of the plates for backup projects. Perhaps building up some weld on the loose side and making a spacer between the two parts, bolting them together and then shaving down the weld with a boring bar, not unlike Skips idea. Or opening up my wallet and buying a set of f100 round style u bolts and their plates.
