[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 626852, member: 20098"] Whilst I’m all for ingenuity, this seems a bit sketchy... washers are not a calibrated thickness, especially as the punching method tends to distort them, unlike a proper machined spacer. I’d be a bit concerned with the washers flattening further over time and thus loosening the drum bolts, or thickness variations leading to excessive drum / wheel runout. Out of interest, does this affect the contact area of the mating faces when the drum is bolted up tight? I’m only familiar with the earlier drum types. [/QUOTE]
