You are right John.I made them 0,5mm higher en the problem was gone!!
I masured it up and the Hub had to go 11mm up.

Then you can make a bracet for the brakes of 6mm. and bold it on to your spindle!!

I used Iron because of the size of the spacers, There not that big. My meaning was that Aluminuim is too weak for those sizes!!

Any update on these conversions?

Seriously though... good work..
