Axle spacer
Does anyone know if part 13 is needed? I am not sure if I have it installed or not so wanted to have it ready if needed.
If there is a substitute part, or dimensions, that could work also that would be helpful
TIA

Re: Axle spacer
After a failed rear wheel bearing, I pulled the axle (another funny story) and had a new bearing pressed on. No change in dimensions and had another 100,000 miles.

Re: Axle spacer
Very nice of you, Pat. I was wondering if you could measure the part, that way I and others can see if something can be obtained locally?
You do seem to always have a spare of everything....great

Re: Axle spacer
Here's some measurements for ya:
ID 1.22" or 31MM
OD 1.77" or 45MM
Thickness .096" or 2.75MM
Could check under machinery bushings with a local supplier. Or pm your address, I'll drop my spare in the mail for you.

Re: Axle spacer
I just bought a couple of these from an on line dealer. He shipped them to me, no problem.
They are a little more than a flat spacer, there is a step on one face (don’t know if it is necessary) and the ID is radiused on one side to match the axle.
Peace,
Pat

Re: Axle spacer
Got a link, Pat.? Seems a little specialized so not sure how hard to find it is. Bet it is missing on a lot of Roadsters

Re: Axle spacer
I know this an old thread but I am missing one of these spacers and not having luck finding a replacement. I know it got lost when I brought the rear end to be powder coated. Anyone have luck finding a replacement?

This may be what you are looking for?? Although it appears there is both an inner and outer spacer so??
