I’m after a single wheel spacer that I think were fitted to some late SPis and MPis - they’re steel rather than aluminium and I think about 5mm thick.
Would happily buy a pair.

Anyone have a spare or two kicking around?

My MPI sportspack came with aluminium spacers, it's a 97 and I bought it at 59k miles, so I'd be surprised if they'd been swapped.

Thought the steel 5mm spacers were part of the wheel.

I may be mistaken on the model they come from, but separate steel spacers were certainly used by the factory at one point.

If you have some old flat drums you might be able to use the centre to make a steel spacer

That is an option, although I’d prefer steel not cast as I want to weld to it.
Turning down a drive flange is another option, just time consuming!
