Real Choice is to be Way more Accurate - use - Better Measuring Equipment .
That's First Thing .
Second Thing on Wheels - Most Vendors of Wheels will have a Disc Brake - Fitting
Template .. for Down Loading - which usually Pattern to be Applied to Thin
Cardboard or Thin Under Layment Wood . . for Cutting out - Fitting Tool ..
It would be much more Accurate to Wire Bush then Measure & Cut pc. Wood
see which - One Fits . . Just saying as many get in Trouble Not being Accurate Enough is all .

Port&Polishman,
Thank for the information. Really what I need to do is pull the axles and get a proper measurement. As shown I'm roughly 2 5/8" plus the thickness of the calliper backing plate witch attaches to the axle flange. I'm sure it's at least 1/8" thick. I'm finding out from Ed is I can use a spacer of some sort. Or my measurements could be completely off. See around here there are not a lot of old cars left at the pick n pull, it all never stuff.
