Front wheel spacer for '73 Mud Lark/125 Wassell

[au_tejas]

If anyone out there has a front wheel spacer for a '73 Wassell 125 Trials or Mud Lark, please send me an email to
[email protected]

Or if you know of where I can get one, please let me know.

Thanks,
Lawrence

Give Speed and Sport a shout, they may have something.

Did that, talked to Matt, said if I could get him dimensions, he could make me one.  With that said, if anyone has one they could measure for me and get dimensions to me, that would work as well...  Thanks again for responding.

My bike does not have a front spacer, are you talking about the left side ?

Not sure if this pic will work, but will give it a try.[http://s151.photobucket.com/albums/s145/au_tejas/Wassell/?action=view¤t=IMG_2263.jpg]

Will take a look at mine tonight. One thing I'm sure of is, my axle doesn't go that far in to the fork leg. Half the hole is in the leg, in your picture.
That would make sense that you are missing a spacer.

My later 1973 has no spacer , the axle has a stop ridge(step down) that backs to the hub bearing which acts as one .You may have a wrong Axle [?] Maybe you are missing the other side (fork axle threaded insert nut? ).

Mine is as Larry's and Mikes. No spacer and the left end of the axle, with the hole, extends 5/8" out with 1/4" showing before the hole.

Interesting read for Penton Trials "Mudlark" owners.
It really isn't as bad as the author portrays. I like mine a lot. Mine has the 5A with the butch head. Shifting from first to second can be a nightmare when you really do need to be in second and not neutral. But I haven't found a section yet I could do in second gear without stalling, and I run an 11 tooth driver. One old time trials rider said, upon seeing my Penton, "Oh ya, that's the one with 5 gears and 6 neutrals".

I think you guys are on to something....  I will give it a try this weekend.  I suspect you are correct, no spacer required.  Thank you all for chiming in....  LS
