944 brakes on a swing axle

i emailed the guy ( the one i got the pictures from ) and he said this.

Oldspeed in Paramount Ca. can machine the aluminum ones for you, I paid $80. It was about 6 years ago, maybe his price is different. Talk to Russell. They are the ones in the picture. I have them on two cars and don’t have a problem with leaks, seals are 6 years old. They seal just like an early axle. The picture of the hub was just to show how the front was machined down and the rear for a bit of extra clearance on the drum mod. Maybe the people who have leaks didn't machine deep enough for the backing plate to go over the bearing. Are these going on a bug? My friend did the same thing in 1992, never had a problem. It's a lot of brake for a bug. I have front and backs on my bus, first time I drove it I almost supermanned it through the safaris. I will look if I have and axle tube and axle to take pictures bolting it together. It might be cheaper if you do it the other way, you can save on the machining cost and just bolt on the steel. I've never tried that one.
