Hi all, I was hoping that someone could help me with my rear wheel spacer problem, I have a 46 500 Matchless and I have just purchased a spacer to what I was hoping to stop the brake plate rubbing against the hub but unfortunately it still does. Would anyone know the correct length of the spacer, the one I purchased was about 15/16” and the plate still rubs on the hub. Would anyone have any suggestions of the correct size. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

Re: Rear wheel spacer
Hi
Having checked our part number conversion chart the item you purchased 41-G3L-H106 translates to new part number 017516.
Unfortunately neither part number gives you any dimensions and I don't have a sample to measure.

Re: Rear wheel spacer
I believe there are 2 sizes of spacers, 1 for springers (longer) and one for rigids (shorter) (check parts list). think I have examples in the garage, will look tonight/tomorrow. Cheers, Andy

Re: Rear wheel spacer
Vague memory that I may have a washer between the spacer and the brake plate as I had the same problem. So long as it is at that end it cannot interfer with the bearing.
How much interference between the brake plate and hub have you got? might a washer sort it?
My other thought is about the hollow spindle bearing, is it symmetrical or does one side project further from the bearing? If so is yours round the wrong way? I did have to replace one 3 or so years ago but I cannot remember!

Re: Rear wheel spacer
Page 59 of owners manual shows the build up , http://archives.jampot.dk/book/Owners_m ... Manual.pdf, one of the few spacers that don't have dimensions given in the parts book http://archives.jampot.dk/book/Spares_l ... 3L_G80.pdf. Id do as Clive suggests and fit a washer or make a new spacer if the bearing all feels OK

Re: Rear wheel spacer
Thanks for your reply, I have attached some pics of the wheel hub from both sides as it was returned to me after rebuilding, I am assuming that the brake side bearing sleeve should be protruding more than it is.
Thanks, Steve.

Re: Rear wheel spacer
I am confident the spacer is correct, I think it may have been assembled wrongly when wheel was put together . Time to re- do I think.
Thanks for help and advice, as usual it’s been invaluable.
