Talking to a lad at work about my wheels and the spacers being too wide, well he went off and came back later with four universal 9.5mm spacers , so when I got home I put two together next to the ones fitted

Posted Image

Then fitted two to the hub and put the wheel back on

Posted Image

looks a lot better, think I do need two though...

had them bead blasted , then used a flap wheel on the inside where there was still paint , wiped over with thinners then
primed and sprayed with Wilkinson's satin black spray ( £4.99 ) ...
