I would be interested in obtaining an assortment of wheel bearing shims if
you can find them. I have not seen them in a long time for any LBC. I know
that they made them for the big Healeys but am not sure that they ever made
them for a Sprite. I can't torque my front bearings anywhere near where they
should be. I am thinking about trying to shim them.
I had always thought that all of the spacers were the same but maybe not. I
have a bunch of them collected over the years for various Spridgets and they
all appear to be the same.
