you can also have a machine shop make you a spacer conforming to the
angle of the hub/wheel which might be the least expensive course of
action if you already have the 60 spoke wheels. there will be no problem
on the rears. years ago, i had a 100M where i had the same problem and
the spacers on the front solved the fouling on the front drums.

This is an issue that has come up in the past and the spacer solution
has been mentioned before. If I remember correctly ( Some Old-Timers
here), someone was going to look into running a batch of these. Has
this been done or does anyone have a source for these shy of custom
machining? 1 and 2 of's can get pretty expensive.
If not.. Maybe Don Lenschow of Dun-Rite Tool will be reading this
thread and consider adding this to his Austin-Healey line of products if
enough express interest. I'm interested and would purchase now for
future use. Not at the "need now" point but it will be an issue as I
have new 60 spoke chrome Dunlops on hand for future use and a test fit
did reveal the problem.
