I found a guy, Fred Goeske, in LA area that makes wheel spacers for a
living. Drew up a spec and had him make them. A little slow, but good
work. I have posted pictures of the drawing and an email from hom at:
http://picasaweb.google.com/Triosan/TriumphWheelSpacers
I will take a coupe of pictures and post them tonight.
I have a Visio drawing of the spacer I will be glad to share.
Note: the "lip" I had added to index the wheels [so as not to just rest the
spcacer/wheel on the studs] interferred with the center hole on my
Centerline wheels -- I had to have the wheel holes enlarged. A better
solution would be to have the index lip a little shorter and chamfered from
the wheel adapter edge to the center.
This was done exactly 2 years ago. I did just check his website at:
http://www.wheeladapter.com/
He is still around.
If Jack comes up with anotherr manufacturer that is great, if a group
purchase from Fred works out that would be cool also.
