6mm spacers for 312mm brake carriers

Recommended Posts

My mate in the machine shop at work has been rushed off his feet with the usual Christmas panicking and today was my last day in before the new year...

 

I'd like to get my 312mm brakes fitted at the same time as the rear beam's off to do the bushes (fitting mk4 rears at the same time) so they only have to bleed the system once. Ideally that would be next week - I've got all the bits, but no spacers. Any chance someone with access to a lathe could help me out? I'm obviously happy to pay for them!

 

Thanks in advance,

a solid 6mm spacer sounds like the proper job, but most use washers mate, sure would be ok for a temp solution.

Been meaning to get these off the ground, £10 posted.

 

They're only mild steel so give em a coat of paint.

I should be able to knock some up if work isn't too busy have you got dimensions?

Awesome, thank you! Dimensions as shown:

(outer diameter can vary a bit - don't bother turning them down to 24mm if you have 25mm bar stock :))

If only they were stainless...thanks anyway though :)

Don't worry, I had to wait a little longer anyway to let the caliper paint harden off, it dries a lot slower than I was expecting! I think they're going to look pretty good though :cool: I'll drop my address to you in a PM. Thank you!

Well, when I got back to work I had a word with the machine shop bloke. He was so apologetic for having forgotten about these that he made me an extra set :lol:

 

Would anybody like them at cost?
