I know we're talking only one-sixteenth of an inch here, but numerous
service bulletins from Triumph over the years suggested that it was necessary
to
shorten disc wheel studs by 5/16" before fitting the wire wheel adaptors. Is a
1/4" spacer then really enough, or ????
No idea where spacers can be found, but it's a pretty common bolt circle on
the TRs.
Just wondering....
