i found some 14ga 5/8"x1" spacer bushings that that need minor clearancing, but ought to add the clearance i desire to keep the retainer from getting scored up again.
It is interesting how the seal rubbed just a smidge at the base of the mounts. Mine aren't like that. If the inner races on the new ones are wider, noticeably proud of the seal face, then it's a done deal. If you end up needing a spacer, keep it as thin as possible, IMHO. ...I think.


Actually, looking again, I don't know exactly what to make of it, Dammit. Now I want to go look at mine.
