Tom,
NO WAY - Gilligan! Ha, Haa.... ( That's a new one for me )
Thank you for taking the measurement. I just want to make sure that I
understood you correctly.
1) FLANGE to FLANGE is 50-7/8" give or take an 1/8".
2) Installing the brake drums, the mounting surface distance increases 1/2"
to appx 51-3/8".
Thanks again,
Rob
