Getting set up to finally do the WJ Knuckle swap.

For those that have done it, what have you used to shim the Akebono caliper 1/4"? Washers? Build your own?

I know Farmer Johnson used to make a specific piece, but they are out of business.

 

I have a 98 XJ that I did the WJ knuckle swap on. I purchased the newer 99.5+ XJ unit bearings (wheel bearings), the 1/4" spacer, Akebono Calipers, 5x4.5 drilled WJ rotors, and did not have to use any spacer for the caliper. Everything lined up. I think the caliper spacer is used for when you use the older style unit bearings.

 

I made this out of 1/4 " plate. I ended up trimming and smoothing out a bit more after fitting. Blank for the second sitting next to it.
