Emergency scrounge!! Anyone have some bolt on spacers that I can borrow to get to Pirongia tomorrow. Borrowed rear wheels are hard up against the strut. Probably need 10mm+ and need to be bolt on. Plan B - anyone prepared to take a more leisurely drive to Priongia with a rear wheel on their front seat (I can take the other.)

That works well. You can get your business done before we arrive, well stop for a 20 min break and head off again around 12.30pm possibly stopping around 1.30pm for a quick 30-45min bite en route and then get into Fielding before 5pm via a 98 fuel stop. Once everyone is together we can sort out dinner. We have only three mission objectives outside of checking out the T and that's to get to Fielding safe without issue and with Buba license intact. Macca Cup is up for grabs yet again this year so please keep your eyes peeled for suitable Darwin Award style candidates...

Good to hear Pete. Doug is a good guy alright!
Check out the pictures in this listing. Date stamped 2008 and still looks like a piece of poo with out of focused images and unrealistic price for a leftie. You really have to wonder how much of the country has a P lap at home aye.

They're normally used on Lola's rear cup 2 wheels but i have my 17" 996 track wheels with R888s fitted so the spacers were just sitting there.

Im not sure that is recommended when extending hub. Doug used a bolt on spacer (essentially you can get only 5-7mm for a slide over one on the factory studs). The bolt on has studs in the back of it for the wheel. You are putting alot of extra stress on the bolts if you run 20-30mm longer studs to take up that difference and I dont think its safe?
