Rear Wheel Spacers

[moeh1]

It is almost tire chain season /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I got a new set of 2 link chains and am thinking about some spacers to keep them off my fender when they loosen up. I have a blueprint for the spacer that I got somewhere, but still have one question for anyone that has put them on. I have 4 bolts on each wheel, which I am certain that I can replace with longer one, but I also have 2 studs - do you press these out and replace with longer ones? Are they a dealer item?
Thanks for any advice

The spacers I have on my B2910 use the same bolts and studs to fasten the spacer to the axle. A new set of bolts and studs are required to mount the wheel to the spacer.
Here is a link to a picture of my spacer. Click Here

Ron,
thanks for the picture, I hadn't thought about that as an option. I have another actual blueprint that somebody posted once with only the 5 holes in it, so I had that on the brain. That one used longer bolts right through the spacer so it was made out of aluminum. Given that yours has a bit more stress on it is your spacer steel?
Thanks.
