I have read that 84-85 Avantis used a spacer on the inner wheel bearing to move the race towards the seal. Where can they be bought ?

So I thought I would pass this along, I am building a 47 M5 Gasser style and am just in the mocking up getting things together stage. So I have a Moser 60 to go under the rear and it has 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern. I have been giving some thought to the front brakes and this is what I am working with right now. The axle is a Champ and it uses the same wheel bearings as a 75 Camaro. So I got a new Camaro rotor and it should work with a few additions. One being the spacer to move the inner race out a little. The other would be a spacer for the nut due to the threads being a little short. I found a grease seal that fits both the rotor and the spindle and it runs in the right place ( white lube in the photo ) so that is good. I still have to come up with some caliper brackets but I don't see that being a problem. I know there are kits on the market but I will see what I can come up with on my own. I was pretty happy the rotor fits as well as it does. It leaves the wheel track the same as the drums also.Attached Files -

Just, 70 Dodge Charger discs bolt right on to the Champ spuds with a swap of inner bearings and oil seals. I use the Willwood hubs that have the dual bolt pattern, that are lighter than stock, but you have to make a caliper bracket that is a little larger than the one for the stock 70 Dodge to Stude.Comment
