I know I confused things a couple of weeks ago, but I have recanted: I don't
have a deluxe or twin cam, I only have a 1622 which has the regular disks up
front. From the picture that you provided, which matches my own, the regular
1600 doesn't have any shims; the deluxe does and they are part of the Dunlop
brakes.

Additionally, see here:

Look at section KKK.3 for info on the shimming.

I believe there are no shims on the MGA like there are on the MGB, according
to a previous post from someone. I've got the manual and I didn't see
anything about shims. The slop on that inner spacer is around 3/8 inch,
unlikely such a large shim requirement.

Sounds like you've left the shims out.  The end play of the bearings is set
by the thickness of the shims between the bearings and the spacer.  The more
shim thickness, the less end play and vice-versa.  The shims come in various
thicknesses, you select the thicknesses to combine i order to arrive at the
proper end play.

Suggest you buy the factory shop manual and read up on it.

Returning to our story.. The consensus for the wire wheel hubs was that the
inner and outer bearings were to tightly crimp the single-chamfered spacer
between them by pressing the bearings in. That makes the three pieces
essentially one, strengthing the three into one, eliminating any side forces
on the bearings. I took my two spindles and associated bearings and center
spacer to the machine shop. Guy says that the outer bearing was loose in its
proper placement and I agree. He said the solution was a new spindle and
bearings. Ok. The second spindle, however, is a different story: he pressed
the two bearing in to their limit shoulders and the inner spacer still was
flopping around inside, absolutely not crimped in place. He and I don't
understand this problem. Any insight??? There is a quarter inch thick spacer
that I read as being outside of the bearings. Or is this supposed to be
inside??

 

At this point, it looks like I will be ordering both spindle and bearings.
Fortunately, Moss has the parts on sale:<)++++

 

TIA,

 

Clayton
