A previous owner installed aftermarket disc brakes on my '84. Pads extend about a half inch above the rotors, and there's no parking brake capability. So we ordered the Turner disc conversion and learned the axle has larger backing flanges than the Studebaker/Newman Altman built Avantis, plus the bolt pattern is off. Doing a deep dive in AOAI archives, I get the feeling I'm not alone in having this problem. The names Jeep and International Harvester occasionally are mentioned. Gotta have rear brakes for my ride. Suggestions?? 

On the left, the correct retaining plate. The one on the right is from my car. Mismatch on bearings, too.

I have bearing and inner and outer rear axle seal part numbers if you should need them.

Can you take a picture of the brakes and the rear axle housing.  It will help immensely.    There also may be tags attached to the differential bolts that can tell the tale.

Here's what my mechanic sent to me. I can get additional photos if that will help.
