I'm not sure about the long axle/ short spline setup. I'm trying to sneak in some time to mock it up. I did the long/long setup first, because it's the most common, especially with all the bus guys and straight-axle conversions.
In general, there are 2 problems with the alum backplates on swingaxle:
1) the bearing depth is not right, so the bearing is not captured right and floats around (which is not good). You have to machine the 944 backplate, press in a sleeve and the machine the bearing pocket to capture the bearing.
2) The oil seal does not seal properly, so the front side of the 944 back-plate has to be machined to allow the seal to properly seat and stop leaks.
I'll let you know what I come up with regarding the long/short setup
