hi please would some one who has some shaft spacers be so kind as to send me a pm with the dimensions of them, eg inner diameter, outer diamter, number of holes, diameter of holes and pcd of holes. If someone would take some time to do this for me i will machine some myself and post some pics, maybe even do a small production run. thanks matt

opps forgot to ask for the thickness of them too. if i do machine some i will only machine them round rather than messing around shaping them to the flanges

All they do is change where the cup wear is located from the shaft impellar. You can achive the same thing by swaping the cups from side to side or by lowering your car. When you swap them you are putting the wear on the revurse side of the cup, when you lower the car you are putting the wear further inside the cup. The spacers only help in giving you one other method in changing the wear placment inside the cups. But as you now know you have two other options before you need to spend more money. Oh and by the way I think the cups themselfs are cheeper then the spacers Considered snake oil? Maybe... I've got 130k on my cups and axels, never needed the spacers yet.

Food for thought, if you have a wear patern inside your cups which will start to create vibration, and then you lower your car, how does adding spacers to compensate, which pulles your shaft impellers back into the same or close to the same wear path in your cups again help? Would seem rather pointless would it not?

Desclaimer) I call them cups not buckets. Buckets are bigger then cups
