Hi All!
My PA came to me with what I think is hydraulic TC brakes. I have purchased 
new backing plates, new brake drum and new axle shafts. The front brakes went 
on fine. When I assemble the rear brakes, there is about a 1/4" gap between 
the brake drum and the baking plate. I can see part of the brake shoes. The 
rear bearing carrier has a 1/16" or less clearance to the thin headed baking 
plate mounting bolts. So I think the bearing carrier is in the proper 
position. The shoulder of the rear hub does fit into the bearing carrier as 
it should. The outside shoulder of the rear hub fits into the brake drum as 
it should. Could the thickness of the bearing carrier be wrong? What is the 
correct thickness? Is a TC bearing carrier thicker?

Thanks in advance for the help!
