spacers behind rear disc. whos done it?

[Bobby.]

Have you fitted these yet?

 

[Ed.innit]

Yep.

Car wont be on the ground till thursday though, will post pics of both sizes then...

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

I'm considering which size to go for with 2deg neg.

You do realise with -2 degree camber on the spacers you will have around -3 degrees as 1*2's come with -1 degree as standard.

My 10mm spacers turned up today thanks ed!! Very speedy delivery. Will be fitted after my holiday!

 

[Ed.innit]

No problem
Glad they got there before xmas...

Just reviving an old thread, I made a pair of spacers today for my 172 cup, I have made them from 1/2" steel plate as there was plenty of it at work. They were East enough to make and for, I also changed the wheel bearings whilst i had the discs off.

Before and after pics!!

I done before an after on my 10mm think with 1 degree camber spacers and tbh it's barley noticeable. I would recommend anyone getting these to go for 15mm with either 1 or 2 degrees of camber.

I have 10mm spacers to fit and I think 2 deg shims already on. Can't wait to see how it'll look. I thought it would run with 15's as its lowered on speedline wheels

Sorry to bring a old thread up

Can anyone help me on sizes

My family runs a engineering company and should be able to make some of these

I have most of the sizes but all i need is the bolt sizing?

I know the bolts are 3 x M10 and 1 x M8 but what does the hole size need to be?

and can someone just confirm that im right

68mm square
40mm hole in then middle
46mm between each hole

Cheers

Your asking what size to drill a hole for a m10 bolt, when the family is in engineering?
Jeeeebus.

Hi Elliot,

which engineering firm is it your family runs?

 

[105e]

I made my own, dont have measurements to hand im afraid, but i didnt need any holes apart from the 4 holes for the bolts, made from aluminium and been on the car for a few months now, no problems. Think i drilled the holes 10.5mm and 8.5mm to allow for a bit of discrepancy.

 

[Elliot182]

Yes my family is in engineering (cheers for sarcasm ed)

company called frank Dudley ltd in birmingham since 1960s

basically I've given them the drawing I've done but they are asking why I want a 11mm clearance hole for a m8 bolt so realistically the hole should be 8.6 -9mm max and for the m10 10.7mm would be perfect

 

[MG cup]

More than enough, 0.5 of a mm will be enough. There are data sheets that engineers go by for thread clearances etc, they should be able to tell YOU.

 

[levaz]

11mm is a little overkill, an m8 bolt has an 8mm thread, m10, 10mm etc in engineering terms, 1mm extra, ie 11mm hole on 10mm thread is huuuge, just imagine using an 11mm socket on a 10mm nut.

id say theyve got their figures about right

 

[Elliot182]

Well that's what they said to me but as I was asking for 11mm they were just wondering why, particularly for the m8

Thank you for the help off a few of you guys

Cheers
