Wheel spacers walkthrough :)

[Lars]

Hi all!

After almost half a year of inactivity... I finally took the time to install some wheel spacers in the back!

I ended up going for 10 mm in the back. I had 16 mm for the back and 10 mm for the front, but the stud didn't have enough space to go through... so yeah... I ordered another 10 mm spacers for the front. And now I have a spare pair of 16 mm... If you're in Franconia, Germany, let me know if you're interested :D

Here it goes:

Picture 5: Protect the stud with a nut, and bang it in (try not to be crazy)

Picture 6: This was the stud that was too long... I'm not sure I'm willing to tear the whole thing apart for the extra 6 mils...

Picture 7: Put the brake drum on it again, and with some bushings (or whatever that's called), sit the stud. I didn't go crazy on it, there's the final tightening with the wheel on anyways...

I hope I'll be doing the front ones next weekend, if the spacers arrive on time :)

I'm also trying to find a couple of strut bars, front and/or rear to install, but my poor German skills are not helping :)

Cheers!
