front axle spacer???750ss

[jerry]

Rebuilding my 750ss 1991 but during house move 2 items have gone missing side stand spring and little bracket which are easily available from EBAY

My 1991 750ss has been modified to dual disc so there was a custom made Spacer for right hand side of 17mm Axle , I need to make another now Im reckoning 17mm ID hole , and size of wheel bearing shoulder OD and about 20mm width for the gap between wheel bearing and fork leg , does that sound right ????

should it be steel or is aluminium OK

Ally would be fine I would have thought.

Put the wheel in and centre it all up using the brake to put the discs in the middle of the calipers and measure what you have left.
