I'm re-assembling my Striker's back end after my driveshafts gave up the ghost and I'm trying to improve the way the hubs are attached
to the rear upright. I have drums on the rear and the backplate is 'stood off' the upright top allow for the waviness of the pressing and to
accommodate the adjuster plunger thing that sticks out the back. The stock way to do this is to pack out with washers on the four M10 hub bolts. This
seems a bit weak and shonky to me as it point loads the bearing housing and the bolts.
I basically need an aluminium spacer that sits between the hub and the upright (about 15mm) as seen in the picture below pinched from Tris's
thread
Anyone know where I could get such a thing?
I've shortened a 'new' set of driveshafts (will post how I did it soon) to suit the washer-packed distance so don't really want to
do a disc conversion and have to re-shorten them.
Have some of these already made up as I was going to use drums, but i am now going for disks. Only thing is, I have two sets, 1 in 10mm one in 20mm
spacing.
£20 for 1 set or £30 for both?

heres the CAD layout I made up for them when they were waterjet cut. INcase you want to check sizes.

I just cut some out of 5mm alloy sheet for mine with a jigsaw, holesaw and drill.
Just time consuming.
