Hopper Stoppers Installation Query

ok here is what the instructions say exactly..
"6. Grease the new mounting hub and wheel bearing sets and install the inner bearing, fitting the grease seal to the stub axle. Install the hub onto the stub axle, install the outer bearing, refit the bearing tab washer and fit centre nut, tightening to recommended preload, which for taper bearings should allow a small ammount of end float rather then too tight which will destroy the bearings. fit the original castle washer and new split pin. Refit grease cap"
ok now my problem is with the "refit the bearing tab washer and fit centre nut" as when i removed the old brake setup it didnt have anything like that i think... so i figured there just talking about the washer and castlated nut.. but then abit further on it says fit castle WASHER.... and i donno if thats supposed to say nut or what?
so yea if anyone could clarify on this that would be great
Cheers

Simmons 14/15 and 16's wont fit, you need 17's or spacer on the smaller sizes.when i bought my kit the guy told me that with some wheels especially simmons they will touch however they also sell a spacer to pack the wheel out a touch
VT commodores run 15's standard and they just clear the calipers.

#1 They are original equipment for that particular car. ( ie:xu-1 spacers on a non xu-1 is not legal )
#2 The spacer it physically attached to the hub, not just held in place when the wheel is tightened.
Otherwise, they are illegal.

We don't have any spacers I'm afraid
I'd refrain from taking anything of the caliper if its at all possible.
As Chop said maybe you could clean up the welds on thw eheel alittle and see if this helps
Failing that yes some thin spacers
Rego doesn't like them........ but how will they know they are there ?
I doubt they will take a wheel off..... but you never know
If the spacer is rivetted or bolted to the wheel so its permenant would that be considered legal ?Or alternatively screwed to the hub would work too

My tyres only last 12 months at the most, but I do a lot of KM in those 12 months.
Do your rear tyres do more km's than your front tyres like my car?
Funny how that can happen
lol.
