I thought I read about someone who had machined up a bunch of spacer rings to be used to center Cobra rear brake discs when using 5 lug ranger axles ?

Anyone know where I cna get some?

I read here that some people use a large "O" ring to keep the rotor centered during the wheel installation. I plan to try this method. I only hope the "O" ring can hold up to the heat.
Good Luck
Tim

Yes, Disc Brakes R US has them. I think they're around $20-$30 for the pair. Call them. When I bought mine, they weren't on their website.

Sporty...

I believe I have a set of rings from an old Stainless Steel Brakes 9-inch rear disc kit. Do you know the ID and OD of the spacer you need? I can check these to see if they'll work for you.

Let me know and they're yours...
