It's difficult to describe without a picture, but as part of this process I'm also investigating the possibility of relocating the rear brake brakets to the insicde of the axle flange to gain another .25". The Baers install with the caliper bracket sandwiched between the bering retainer and flange, which actually push the back wheels out an extra .25". Ironically, my measurements so far appear that relocating those brackets to the inside will bring the caliper and axle (rotor) both in exactly .25", which along with the narrower housing means that I will need to shorten my axles 1".
The rear disc brake brackets I make (as does Disc-Brakes-R-Us) mount behine the flange, helping you there. If you have calipers already, and/or want to run a larger rotor, I can model the system for you, with the help of a few dims...
Bad thing is, the brake gap on stock big-bearing stuff is 2-3/8", and small-bearing is 2-1/2" (like a Fox). Any way to confirm your brake gap?
