Hi Jim, and Listers,
Yup, been there, done that. :) Another thing is that depending on how the hub is
built, the second race will still finish up below the shoulder of the hub. So
you end up using the other old race or something else as a second spacer to keep
from pounding the edge of the hub. At the Racetech shop we kept the hole-saw
cutouts from just about everything we've ever put a large round hole in, so we
have a large box full of 3/4" to 3" steel disks of varying thickness. These
things make great widgets for installing bearings, as well as having a zillion
other uses.
