good sources for 4 bolt spacers.
1/4- 3/4 inches in width need to fill out my pulled-rolled fenders just a bit more (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) also need source for longer lug bolts Thanks |

If those don't pan out, our 5mm spacers are drilled for 4 or 5 lug.
$59.00 a pair (see them in the V-Caliper thread) |

Thanks for the offer Mike....those are just a wee bit too wide. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Actually my perfect size would probably be about 1/2 inch but 3/4 would probably work. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I'll keep yours in mind Eric. Not in any hurry, just started my search.... does anyone know the name of the guy on ebay that makes the custom ones? |

what are you putting in you morning coffee Dan?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Those spacer in the picture is .500" or 1/2" or 12.7mm which is your minimum requested size (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Let me rephrase it: I have 2 spacers, they are 1/2" thick (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Find some old junk rear rotors and take them to a machine shop. Have them machine the hats off and leave just the mounting face. Voila' instant spacer. I think they are .500. I used them to push my rear wheels out to fill out the flares on my car.

did you even look at the price of those?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) besides, common practice is nothing thinner than 1" for spacers that use secondary studs for mounting. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
no coffee?, oh no, couldn't do it..... I cannot remember, I'll measure them for you...those are the BBS Racing screw-in studs |

I just ordered a set of longer lug bolt from here
I'll let you know what I think when I get them. I had a set of spacers made for my fronts at a machine shop. I'll post pictures when I get home. |
