| Post subject: | Front Hub Spacers |
Hi guys, I have a set of 1500 hubs and CVs which I'm fitting in place of my 1100 ones (they bolt straight on). I'm planning on using Mini tapered roller bearings, but since the 1500 CVs are about 7mm longer than the mini/1100 ones I need the spacers to be longer also (my hubs came in bits without bearings/spacers). Does anyone know where I can get some from? Or if they were shared with another model? Madmorrie |

Get 2 new ones machined up, out of decent steel, SAE4140 or similar. Or you could shorten 4 std spacers to length by surface grinding or machining, and use 2 per side.. Note, they need to be dead parallel, which ever way you do it. |

Cool, probably the safest way, any idea how I'd find out the correct dimensions? Madmorrie |

Measure the width of the web in the swivel hub, add 1mm to that and bolt it up. Check the endfloat you get. Then read my `tapered roller bearing' thread in the how-to forum. |

Awesome, thanks. And thanks also for the how-to, very informative. Madmorrie |
