Anyone know where i can get some spacers for the rear wheels?

Should i just rather get them machined by an engineer?

I popped in @ Flat Four Racing. They did not have spacers but will make up a set once i give them the distance required.

Very nice shop they have there - love all the fast bits they have for sale. :D
