I have searched and searched; there is a thread about the Burley rear brake kit addressing the possible need for a shim/ spacer to fill the gap on the hub and the rotor being supplied with the kit.
Any help with finding this thread link would be appreciated. Thanks

While I can't help you find the original one you could do what I did and have some 3d printed.

Mine are only plastic and probably won't last very long but its enough to center the rotor until you get the wheel on and bolted down to hold every thing in place.

Have a few extras printed to keep onboard in case you need to remove the wheel at a later time and your spacer is trashed.

I did buy some material to make some aluminum pieces but my machine shop buddy has been out of the shop since march so the plastic parts are getting me by until then.

Hi did you have the 3d files for use by the masses? Thanks in advance

That was a discussion on Facebook.
They`re not hub centered nor from the hub OD into the rotor`s hat.

Well I just drew the part up in Onshape and a friend took it from there and printed it at home.
It's nothing fancy and could be drawn up by anyone that has some software in about 3 minutes.

I assume you have to sign up for Onshape to see this link but here is a link to the part if anyone want's to give it a shot.

So they are centered off the studs and no spacer is needed?

My rotor was definitely not centered without the spacer ring.

If one was better at measuring than I was and took the time to indicate the hub before machining you could get the OD of the hub just right so that it fits in the rotor hat perfectly and centers the rotor on the hub.

i believe they need to be 65mm x 68mm to center the rotor on the hub snout unless your hub od is machined to fit the hat of the rotor.

These however are not tall enough, the chamfer on the rotor is too big for these to work. I have a set of those in the link for sale if anyone needs them.
