Shaft spacer and castor wedges

Post by Screwy »

Guys,

I have gotton individual prices from various sources on shaft spacers and castor wedges... and all prices are very similar to each other...

curious as to whether there is anyone on this board that does these...

and whether they can do be a good deal for me to get a 30mm shaft spacer and 2 x 7 degree 60mm castor wedges....

I got 3 degree castor correction wedges for my 40 from Fulcrum Suspension in Brissy. Cost just under $50 for the pair of them, a little expensive for what they are but I was happy to pay it. Fixed up my steering nicely after I fitted extended shackles all round.

Take it in to a tyre shop/mechanic they can tell you.

Or get out the level and tape measure and calculator

is this a *special* price just for you AND did you require extended centrebolts or did they just slip on without any additional fiddling required?

there is nothing worse then bending/ breaking/ twisting a drive shaft on the track

id build one so u wont need to buy a replacement :roll:

eg 6mm- 8mm wall :roll:

as u know doin it right the first time = alot cheaper
