they look very similar to this

and my grinder

THIS is the pic of my grinder.

I think the discs are car wheel spacers as my friend had some once. I believe they may be to allow alloy wheels to seat properly on the hub or space the wheel out a bit.
So, who got it right? Do i win??

Cheers,

Folks, I do believe we have a winner.

I am currently debating if its Yeti or Aqua.

Yeti found a match, but didn't say what they were, and Aqua hit the nail right on the head.

They are in fact wheel or rim spacers. The set I took the picture of have been hanging on that wall for at least 15 years.

Aqua, PM me your mailing information. Yeti, convince me you knew what they were and I will send you a set as well.

Good work and excellent effort everyone.

Well done Aqua and if convinced Yeti as well,

by **Romstar** » 29 Sep 2006 20:25

Yeti has me convinced. He sent me the web site where he got the picture from, and its all about wheel spacers, so I think he knew what it was and just forgot to say.

Aqua gets his with no doubt at all, and I should have them out in the mail in a few days, but no later than next Friday.

These picks are part of a new run, and I want to be sure they are up to snuff before they go out.

Turns out that I was pretty close, not knowing what I was talking about

Or as we say "So close, yet so far off"

Congrats to Aqua,(and Yeti, as IÂ´ve just read Romstars post) tell us how they work, and post some pic. of them, when they arrive........So we can copy them :idea:

Oh, the templates for the king and queen are on here somewhere. However, as a few people have discovered they are not perfectly to scale.

You ahve to know a little bit about depth and spacing to make the templates the proper size for the real picks.

If you try to copy the templates exactly, you get two picks that are completely out of whack.

You can make them though. Just find them and have fun.
