Yes the BJ8 shims are different but they are not interchangable.
Check the wheel bearing races, You probably do not have them set all the =
way down.
Usually there is about .060 in shims. The shims will be installed =
between the spacer and the outer wheel bearing.=20
The best way to adjust them is to do your adjustments with no grease. =
Then after you have the shims required remove the hub and them put your =
wheel bearing grease in and re assemble.

I am retrofitting a 3000 disc brake setup to a BN2. I invested in new =
correct front splines hubs for this purpose and all the appropriate =
hardware involved. Now, the shim I bought do not look like they will =
fit over the diameter of the stub axle at the location (against the =
distance piece, behind the outer bearing). Is there an inner diameter =
difference between BJ8 shims and earlier front suspensions? Did I buy =
the wrong shims? This job just gets to be more fun all the time.=20

P.S. Thanks for the clarification on shim location. Apparantly I could =
have put a half inch of shims behind the tabbed washer and would never =
have been adjusted correctly. I understand why they must go where they =
go now. Just takes a while to get through this thick skull of mine.
