Dose anyone know about this shim that goes between the disk and the hub on the 1978 wire wheels rear hub? I need to know the thickness so i can make one. They are n/a Thank you Joe 59214-49000

 
I believe they are 5mm thick but I don't know for sure.

I may have enough parts to be able to help as I may be able to make the required thickness out of the brake rotor spacers we use for the twinpot mod...

I would stack some washers temporarily to find out what you need & then let me know...
 
I know I had to add a 5mm spacer between the hub and rotor. I was converting mag wheels to spoked wheels using 750 hubs to my 1000e. I believe it is in the thread Allie dug up recently... I'm wondering if for some reason the guy changing her tires, took off the rotor and never put the spacer back on?? I never knew about a factory spacer... ??🤔
 
Yes it was not there on the wheel I have also. I did this mag to spoke thing in 1982. I don’t remember that part but I do see it in the maco fiche. Thanks for your reply.
 
Yeah there is definitely one. I was going to do it years ago and remember there being one with the wheel I had. Never did do it in the end and moved the wheelset on. I had the alloy spoke wheels not the steel.

pretty sure I can make one at 5mm by stacking a 3mm and 2mm if I can find them. I May also have a 5mm. Need to check.
