Next problem:
Since i removed the 1985 gsxr 'F' 15mm spindle and want to replace it with a 17mm 'H' one to suit my 1987 forks - I need to make up a spacer for the front bearings. I have bought the 17mm bearings to suit a 42mm outer diameter (not standard - should normally be 47mm) - but what can i use to make a spacer out of?
I checked steel suppliers and most pipe (galv, black etc.) comes in 20 or 25 mm diameters as the smallest.
Anyone got any hints or suggestions?
Does the steel material matter, e.g. mild steel?
Cheers
