Rear wheel spacer dimensions

(1/7) > >>

Murf:
Hi
Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the brake side spacer on the rear wheel, 1975 K1 550.
I am just putting the rear wheel back on and don’t seem to be able to find it, it isn’t lost as such but just seems to be evading me at the moment.  It’s the only bit I have misplaced so far during my build.
I will have another look tomorrow then will make one if I cant find it.  The length is the main thing I need, the outside diameter would be useful. 
If no one has the dimensions I will be able to work them out, but it would be good to have the original dimensions to work to as then I know it is right.
Thanks.

It should be the same as my 500, and I have my wheel off at the moment. I can measure it for you

Max used to make them in stainless Murf. He has an eBay page nowadays and they could still be listed on there. He made one for me when he was a member on here and did a really great job of it as well, no more rust etc.

Murf:
Hi Mick yes I am pretty sure it will be the same as the 500 it would be good if you can measure it for me, length is the most important, it’s bobbin shaped so just the diameter at the end will be ok.
Thank

Hi Oddjob thanks for the info, fortunately I have got a lathe and just happen to have a piece of SS bar that should be long enough so will be able to make one. 
However I did look on CMSNL to see if their parts diagrams had any dimensions, they didn’t but I did notice that the wheel spacer was in the region of £59 and were out of stock, so your friend could be a life and money saver for someone.

I can measure my original when I get back home, currently heading for Lochgoilhead for a week.  I contacted Max last year and he made one for me.
