I'm having a hard time reading the drawing, but does 29.62" center to end sound right?

I can't read it either - they must have screwed it up when they updated the website. I know I have a better copy of it at home... let me check later. Do you need the dimensions for a 4th Gen with disc brakes? The center of housing-to-flange face of the wheel mounting surface is more like 30.86" for the 3rd Gen and 32.36" (total width 64.72" flange-to-flange) for the 4th Gen. The dimension you quoted seems to be for retainer plates and/or drum brake backing plates.

I'm just looking for the mesurment from housing end to housing end.. There is a guy selling a bare housing narrowed to 54.75" and i'm trying to figure out how much more narrow than stock that is.
