FJ 80 backing plate thickness

[thepinktaco]

Im putting this FJ 80 front axle together that I bought that was complete up to the spindles. I bought the wheel hubs and brakes off of here and was going to buy Trail Gears Backing plate eliminator kit I found out that they will not work on the FJ 80 only the P/Us. I guess I am going to need to make a spacer so everything seals properly and the bolts fit. Anyone have an idea of how thick the center of the backing plates are?

What year? What axle? Are the wheel hubs and brakes from the same year? What country?????ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

When I bought the axle the guy said it was a 93 or 94. It has ABS and an Elocker. The hubs and brakes are off of a 96 with abs and elocker. I found somewhere that the P/Us backing plate thickness where it bolts up is 3/32.
