Wheel Spacers (T2)

[BlueBull]

these are the spacers I had fitted to my T2 32 mm from supercrooks, and these bolted onto the hub first and then the wheel bolted on to the spacers.

perhaps I've just been nieve, I always thought part of spacers kit included the studs too, seems very dodgy to just put spacers on without replacing the studs to suitable length!

These are often called hubcentric spacers, I have seen them on e-bay for our vehicles in the past, if you have to fit spacers these are probably the most effective way of doing it.

I'm so tempted, motorsportsworld are doing the set at about £136.00 (hubcentric), is this reasonanle or does anyone know of a cheaper outlet?

don't buy any from a company called ac services on e bay.they say they fit ford mav/terrano but the thread pitch is wrong(m12x1.5)and they should be m12x1.25.i have been waiting for 4 weeks for them to swap them for me but they keep blaming their supplier for the delay.£110 just sat in a box in the kitchen gathering dust.thought about re tapping them to the correct thread :?

if it's the threaded part for the wheel nut to fit onto you could always get some new nuts :roll:

its both,the shallow headed nuts that hold the spacer to the hub dont fit the t2 thread and the studs on the spacers won't take the t2 nuts.was even thinking about replacing the studs on my t2 but its not the point when you buy something thats listed for your motor you expect it to be right.

Iv'e got 30mm spacers on my T2,got them from another member to fit the paj rims on!!
I just leave them on for when i put my alloys on,as sweety can confirm they look quite good,only stick out about 1/2" if that!!
Spacers fit fine,but had to get different nuts as the ones that came with it were to short and for alloys! :wink: :lol:

does look good from your avatar Cosmic, have you noticed anything different about how the T2 handles. how long have they been on, bearings coping ok? still very tempted to do it to mine, looks like i'm copying you, but that's the style i like on a car, had it on Probe and all my Capri's and a Mk1 Escort Sport. makes the car ook a bit meaty.

Send the lot back and demand your money back!! sure you'll be able to pick up a second hand pair from someone in the club!!
The only difference i have noticed.
Is it is more steadier in the corners!

well i rang ac services today to tell them i wanted a refund and i was sending the spacers back(about 9.30 a.m)by 10.20 a.m they had found a set with the right pitch thread rang me back to say they would put them on an overnight and collect the wrong ones with the same carrier at no extra cost to me 8O think so the cheeky gits :smile:

Just make sure you check they've sent you the correct ones before you let the 1st set go back.

spacers

well i got round to fitting the spacers today :smile: looks the biz and has made quite a difference on the handling on cornering. :smile: no rally car but feels alot better when taking corners at speed.just glad its all sorted out.he also sent me some free lock nuts to compensate for the hassle :smile:

 

[GoonerCarp]

if you do order from ac services make sure you e mail them and tell them that you have m12 x1.25 pitch threads.the reason i went for his are the price £109.99 delivered for 4 spacers.30mm steel not the cheap ally ones.he told me he had changed his e bay listings so it doesn't happen again.
