I already tried searching with no luck...
I am looking for some beefy D44 rear axle bearing retaing plates for the '77.
IIRC, IH Only used to make some. If anyone know if they or anyone else does, I need a set! Waaayyy too much end play currently, and since I will be putting on new bearings, and the factory plates are a little bent as well...

Let me know!

If you have too much endplay, maybe you should be looking for some shims?

Check the vendor list on the BB.

Point is, there should never be any shims on a Scout D44 rear. The design was such that the bearing with plate should be within factory specs. My retaining plate is bent (and personally a little thin) so I am looking for a replacement.
