Because of the size, shape, and the way the flange is rotated on the axle, it would be hard to locate the correct location of where the flange should be drilled to use longer bolts and a flange.
With this adapter, you would only need the adapter,5 bolts, 5 nuts, drill 4 holes, and clearance the NBS 9.5" flange, and to align the adapter to the correct stock orientation of your year truck.

On a drum brake rear, there isn't an option to mount the wheel cylinder at an angle, so this design keeps the wheel cylinder at the 12 o clock position, but also allows you to bolt on the disc brake in the original position.
Compared to the NBS 9.5" flange the 8 point adapter plate is small and except for the extra 4 holes it is the same diameter corner to corner as the 8.5" axle flange. If you think about it, the only additional material is the tabs for the 4 extra bolt holes. Not alot if you consider most of the metal is already on a regular 4 hole flange.

Well, I am a little confused but I am sure once I see it or a picture of the Bracket, I will better understand what you are saying. I am still in for the final result.
I know the brake bolt pattern on the light duty 2500 9.5 is different and I know you said you need a spacer so theoretically it sounds like it would work.
So did you make these on your own or did you have some one machine them for you???

Let me see if I can get some pictures together. It won't be a completed product, but you will hopefully have a better understanding how it should come together.
