logan1 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hi guys, I've been trying to upgrade the brakes on my 240Z; but am finding that all the online vendors are charging way too much for simple parts like a pair of 0.663" spacer for $120 shipped. Any way long story short i've found a nice local CNC machine shop that will machine the spacer for me @ $35 per spacer. The catch is that they will only machine in sets of 10 spacers at a time minimum. So I'm here to see if anyone else needed a the spacers for the brake upgrade. If you are looking for spacers please let me know. You would be paying $35 per spacer +3% paypal fee + Shipping (including packing material). I am having the spacers machined off the drawing that was made by zcarnut . To the best of my knowledge this spacer only works for the 240Z. http://home.earthlink.net/~zcarfan/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/spacer.jpg I am also working on finding a shop with a CNC mill that will make the Maxima bracket. I'll let you guys update on the status of that quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopick Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Just to clarify, this is for the Toyota S12 caliper fit right? If so, I'm in for a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well .633 is pretty close to 5/8" (.625) which you can buy from summit for 60 bucks a pair. Here is a link to a set on Summit, you can get them from Jegs to: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BAE-2000004/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is definitely an option. Do you have this spacer installed on you car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_M67 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 That looks like a wheel spacer to move the wheel outboard, and not the spacer for the rotor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
