I'm interested but don't have access to a welder in order to weld the necessary spacer onto the knuckle
. would you be willing to do that for an extra fee?

I'm also interested but not sure if I would prefer to just go with new brakes / calipers. Do you have pics of the kit you have available now? Would you be willing to sell the knuckles with welded spacers by themselves like the guy above me asked?

It is sold.
I do not weld but will look into getting the spacer welded on for you guys. Anyone know a good supplier for the spacers?

I knew JKS was the only manufacturer. I meant a place that was reasonable. The prices varies from $18 to $36 EACH, plus shipping.
I'll look into the Prime.

No, I don't lick fish.
21 bucks a pop really doesn't seem that bad. Especially for something from a quality manufacturer like JKS. If you're looking for a WHOLESALE supplier though, you may have luck by just calling them and telling them what you're doing and they might hook you up with a bulk price.

Didn't give much thought about calling them directly. I'll try & see what they say.
I guess the the price on the last set of spacer I got spoiled me. I paid $30 shipped but I got them second hand.

If you really wanted to cut costs for the spacers, hit up a local machine shop that has a laser and have them cut to the dimensions.
It's a simple part.

I made a pattern from the last set of spacers I had in hopes of making my own. Looks like I need to look for a machine shop & welder.
I believe that you were the first WJ conversion buyer.
