Title: Spacer size
Post by: royblackburn1@btinternet. on 04 Feb, 2024, 19:49
Hi all, i recently bought a rear wheel speedo gear box for my 1966 A65L the gear box is wider than the old gear box when the spacer is fitted between new gear box and the frame its very tight and i think if i tighten the spindle up it will put too much pressure on the gear box bearings are all the spacers for a65 all the same size, thanks Roy

No, there are early QD type which didn't have a speedo drive fitted, theres the type with a speedo drive which has two spacers and there is the OIF type.

Thanks Allen, my mate says he got some tubing the right size and will cut to size instead of ruining original. Roy
