I had to trim another .080 to get the cotter pin hole right where it needed to be. Otherwise, the depth of the hole in relation to the axle nut may not be in exactly the right spot (too shallow).

I need to know if the stock un-machined hight is about 2.5 inches? measured from where to where? i could measure it as i have type3 drums at home and on the car. i think i even have machined down centers. i will look for them and measure them both.
