Does anyone have quick fix wheel spacers, or the availability of longer studs so I can make some with the plasma cutter...

I know the pro's and cons - not trying to open that conversation, they'll be on a comp truck and need to widen the track a little more to clear the tyres from the rear coil mounts on full flex...

If someone has some (a pair would do) or knows where I can get them then that would help.

Cheers

I'm guessing Rovacraft or karcraft, at least phone and try. Karcraft are a Bearmach agent, Bearmach supply spacers.

Otherwise you could knock the old studs out and use some socket head capscrews lightly tacked into the back of the hub.
I used to get this done on race cars when i wanted to run larger than standard spacers. I would only use SPS Unbrako or Holokrome though, beware of all the Chinese fasteners on the market these days.

I'd knock out the old ones and press the newbies in and get a mate to tack TIG the heads.
