Hi all. I am looking for two 4 lug 3 3/4" pattern 1.0" to 1.5" thick spacer/adapter. Both lug patterns equal 3 3/4" (Spitfire Herald). Anybody have any or can point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Spacers that thick are not very safe, the lug is too long and will flex inside the spacer holes. What I do is make adaptor plates that have their own studs of appropriate length and that bolt on to the hub with the original short studs. Any machine shop can do that, just a round of aluminium surfaced flat to thickness with four holes with flat counter-sinks for the nuts that attach to the original hub studs and four holes with counter-sinks for the new studs to get pressed through. An hour each, maybe.

Thanks Brian. I didn't think of making my own. I have a lathe and drill press etc. I agree on the thick spacers, an adapter is what I was thinking but some folks put the two together in one category.

Here is one I am finishing up that shows what I think you are looking for.
