how do you identify the XU1 wheel spacers? i found a pair of very thin spacers look the same as a brake drum face with the stud pattern and the little cresent shaped hole only about 1-2 mill thick, any ideas?

thanks

Sound like they may be the correct item but I thought they were closer to 3mm thick but I'll need to check that.

 

Reproductions have been around for a while now so who knows.

 

Can you post up a pic?

They look like the genuine article. I'll check the thickness of my spare genuine spacers tonight.

 

Cheers

Pic of a genuine GMH XU1 wheel spacer. Measures 1/10" thick on the vernier.

Wheel spacers were an XU1 thing. Why were they were made so thin? Easy enough to add more spacers rather than have one thick one I suppose.
