There is a source for such spacers:
Neil Revington
at Revington TR
He is a sponsor of the Temple of Triumph trivia quiz and all around nice guy
who happens to be very expert in TRS especially rally+race. (At least
certainly seems to be from my few conversations with him). Sells a spacer for
TRs so that you can run wires on Disc wheel cars WO changing studs and so you
can easily change them.
Since he makes them in fairly large lots it is probably a reasonable cost.
Unless you are a machinist, know one....
Tell him I sent you. (I would just like him to know that all that time he has
spent on th phone with me is not a loss)

>>as quickly as changing tires! Bill Piggott mentions this in "Original

>>sort of "generic" or "slotted" spacer...too much shearing stress on
