Anyone experience this?

I'm building a gen 3 B4 conversion and the problem is that the B4 ball diff has a large amount of axial movement within the gearbox. The internal width of the gearbox is larger at the diff than for the upper section with the idler gears (unlike the B4 gearbox), so there's nothing to hold the diff in position axially. Looks like I need a pair of spacers or similar, but doesn't seem like an especially elegant solution. Bearings are fine, unless there are some out there that are approx. 1.5 times longer? Does anybody have a solution to holding the diff in the centre of the gearbox?
