What spindle & rotor are you using?  Never mnd,  1.73 is the typical 70-71 spindle & 2.622 is a 73 & up rotor....

I think your best bet is a National 472185   The OD & width are good, the ID is .020 O/S but since the typical seal lip deflection is .060.. & your sealing grease not a fluid it should be fine...

Why do you need the 73 spindle?  It'll bolt right on so it's a good upgrade but I'm guessing you got the rotors & the bearing spacers from Dr Diff?

So use your spindle, the spacers, bearings & rotors you got from Cass & a pair of National 472185 seals.. You should be good to go..
