[Mgs] follow up on mga 1622 suspension issues

[Charley & Peggy Robinson]

I found this thread on  MGE : http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2109993

Post #11 is from Barney Gaylord.  It has a link to the Dunlop brake 
section KKK.  Looks like if you have tapered roller bearings, you need 
the shims.  If the spacer in one of your hubs is rattling around 3/8", 
it may not be the right spacer.
I've been trying to help.  Sorry for the confusion on the link to the 
airplane.
