Reply To: LARGE CRADLE SPACERS

I would think these may have been fitted at some time to correct alignment by pushing the cradle forward on one side only.  I have seen this method used on a number of occasions.

If that is the case they go on each of the two cradle shafts, as you surmise, and should be located between the cradle and the horn on the relevant side.

If there are no witnesses marks on the rest of the hardware to help you identify which side they were previously fitted you may have to do some fine measuremnt to determine the correct side – a small (5mm) difference at that point makes a much bigger difference to the wheelbase.
