Making Front Wheel Spacers Fit and Work
Making Front Wheel Spacers Fit and Work
I keep seeing the same question pop up asking how to make spacers work/fit over the lip on the grease cap on the front spindle. I ran in to this issue in 2008 and made a a sketch.
One thing-you must use minimum 10mm thick spacers to have enough material for the mod.
Hope it helps.
Screw it-search for
spacersketch.jpg
or
spacersketch.pdf
They are in my "new" user gallery-in the Space Age S...tuff folder.

He is showing the sizes that are required to clear the grease cap on the hub. People have complained that the hub bore (2.618 diameter) on spacers they purchased are too shallow and hits the grease cap.

Re: Making Front Wheel Spacers Fit and Work
Okay got it. So what should the diameter be? I bought 20mm spacers because I got them on sale. They won’t clear the grease cap. Is there a way to install them by removing the grease cap and then putting the cap back on? Or do I need to get them machines out? I’m kind of new to this whole spacer thing when it comes to European cars.

Ichiba mb-50310S-125 these spacers have Lips
, they fit they work, not free.
These look like a hat.
most pics are incorrect.
Call and ask they come in 2 thickness 10mm & thicker
avaiable on amazon
they worked for me nothing without lips worked for anything
