[Healeys] Front wheel bearing 'distance piece'

I would assume that the distance piece was added to add strength to  
the spindle. Since the only spindles I have seen cracked have been  
cars that did not have a spacer installed.

I would recommend installing the spacer that was added on the BN4  
since they are the same spindle, hub and bearings it was done for a  
reason. Probably the added weight and being a 6 cylinder car they may  
have assumed that the owners may drive harder.
