just ordered a set of those extended studs for the hubs cos gonna need em anyway
next i'll be needing a set of 8mm spacers and have several options:
option 1. £62 on a set of 8mm spacers from australia
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WHEEL-SPA...=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc8267047
option 2. £14 for a set of 5mm spacers
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270822574463?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
with £14 for a set of 3mm spacers to make 8mm spacer = £28 total

option 3. whilst googling 8mm spacers I just noticed this thread about making spacers from old brake discs, genius
http://www.driftworks.com/forum/tec...n-8mm-wheel-spacers-less-than-30-minutes.html
i still had my old scrap grooved pulsar discs in the garage. measured the thickness
and its 7.75mm close enough
now if only I'd didn't scrap the original non-grooved pulsar discs I'd have a full set
so the front spacers sorted I'll need a pair of spacers for the rears with either
£31 8mm spacer or
£14 seperate 5/3mm spacers or
I find another pair of old/new brake discs with the same thickness to chop up.
GTIR front discs are least £39 new. anyone know what cars would use the same PCD and disc hub thickness? maybe discs from other smaller pulsars?
