Recieved my new spacers (thanks to bill) and found them no problem to fit even for a non-mechanic like myself. The hardest part was removing the plastic cover for the jack point !!!!!

Slight problem when removing one of the rear wheels. A silver disc (2/3 cm diameter) attached to the hub fell off. I have knocked this back on and fitted the spacer etc ..

- Should this of happen ?
- What was it ?
- Do i need to get it looked at ?


PS. I would recommend the spacers to anyone. The backend felt a lot more sturdy. Also they fill the arches better even with stock rims !!!

The silver disk is the greese cap for the rear hub bearings. Tap it back on and it should be fine. No problem.

Glad you like them.
