Oh right, cheers for the tip.
think it will depend on wheel design though, ive had 3 sets of 17s on the saloon 2 needed spacers and the otheres were fine luckily the softstars on the van cleared with no spacers, the 15s i had were just a set of dare 5 spokes but cleared fine needed 5mm spacers though
Yeah its the shape of the spokes.
love this car very much

Time to build the hubs and braking bits up.. Garage isn't the nicest place too sit. So made a work bench and sat in front of the tv to do it..

Not a fun job when you stripped it a month before and didn't take any pics to help you remember...

Discs grease masked and painted. (painted the edge of the disc as i hate it when they are all rusty)

Grease it,

Then paint it,

Then wipe paint off and the braking surface is clean...
So then start rebuilding beam, Remember my bad caster? Using some tig (soh-cah-toa) i worked out what was needed to fix it and had some shim made to correct. (left 1.4mm and right 2.9mm cut on a lathe)
