I am not doing a very good job of communicating my idea Yes the hubs I pictured are normally used to convert the brakes from in board to outboard, but my thought is keep the inboard discs. You have to run a rotors thick spacer between the diff and the half shaft any way so put the rotors there and run the inboard discs as normal. My thought was just to use the newer hubs for the sole purpose of having OEM mounting locations on the hub that were designed from the factory to handle that kind of pressure. mickmate, like I said before, I think your design is fantastic and the 3/8" hub material should be strong enough, I just like to think outside of the box and look at other options so I figured I would bring it up to see what people thought.
