1.25" spacers for FD rims?
It's not 1", but these are pretty cheap...
The 1/4" adds another 6mm, but they should work...

Nice hookin up REted, thanks for the link
they look realy nice, has anyone ever used those particular ones before? would that extra 6mm really be that big of a deal, seems to me it would make the wheels look even better and not really cause any performance/fitment issues?

FD wheels require at least a 25mm spacer I believe to fit on FCs. 1 1/4" is a little in excess of that, so they will be fine with even some slightly squarer tires.

I believe the old H&R spacers were like $150 a pair?
These are pretty cheap compared to them, as you can get a set of 4 for the same price as the old H&R's.
If you think they are a little too thick, you can get them cut down at a local machine shop...
But for the price, they are a deal.
I get asked a lot where to find these spacer, and when the H&R ones were discontinued, I had to look for another source.

I doubt they are hubcentric.
The FC/FD runs some of the smallest hub centers in the industry, and it's hard to find hubcentric spacers to fit their dimensions.

its not a huge market but there definately a market for em.
Is there really any strength issues for not being "hubcentric"?

I know a guy who owns his own machine shop. An old guy who owned it gave up on the business and sold the whole shop, including multiple machines for under $20k, now the guy has is own machine shop. If you guys could give me some exact specs, or maybe even an exact model of what needs to be made, I could have them produced cheap as hell and sell them to forum members for dirt cheap, I just dont know anything about them so you'd have to tell me exactly what was needed for them and I could have a talk with the guy.

NO!!!! 2'' is way to long. A friend of mine has fd rims with a .25 spacer and he has longer studs. As for making them I would, except for the fact that it would be a bootleg operation. I have access to the machine and material, but I am supposed to only use it for projects relating to the SAE kart. I can get away with a couple things for myself now and then, such as a couple of my prototype dry oil sump and catch can, but I could not mass produce the stuff. yet. Just wait till I open up shop in a few years. There's a reason I'm AE ME and a minor in EE .
