Are you missing these? It's a drum brake backplate with the bearing carrier shown in the centre. The four bolts fasten onto the uprights.

Gary to the rescue.........

Ebay parts are cheap as Talon has posted,new the hubs are £40 ish and flanges £136 or there abouts and still available form Ford.

Be carefull which ones you buy as disc and drum are different and the width of the carriers are also different between bolt on and push in.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Looks like I need a pair of disc brake type hub carriers.

This is a steep (but very satisfying) learning curve. Hopefully one day I'll be able to answer some questions as well as asking them!

All the photos I've seen for disc type hub carriers have the wheel flange as well. For disc brakes is it all one piece? I'm guessing that this is the case and the axle I have is from a drum setup and so the flange is separate from the carrier (so the carrier is part of the backplate like in Gaz05's photo)

Backplate and carrier are seperate items and adapters are available for disc conversion.

Yes the backplate and carrier are seperate. What type of upright did you get because the disc and drum ones have the thick outer plate orientated differently.

This is the drum setup that I'll be using. As you can see the backplate will be sandwiched between the carrier and the upright. Then the driveshaft goes through that and the splined flange is slid onto the driveshaft and a nut spun on to hold it all together.

There is also two types of shaft,push in and "Lobro" bolt in type.
As it suggests one just pushes into diff and outer hub end and the other bolt togther with the shaft in the center held in with 6 alan/cap screws at either end,as others have said the carriers are different and if not fitted in the right place will let the caliper interfere with shock mount.
