I extracted the information about the five speed spacer dimensions from Ray Hale off of the old Topica Loopframe_Guzzi news group (which has now moved to Groups.io). Martin Harvey sent me some additional clarifying information about the four speed spacers.
These are the aluminum spacers that fit on either side of the transmission and through which the 12 mm transmission mounting bolt is fitted.
- On four speed transmissions there is some variation. The following is believed to be true, but be sure to check your particular machine before buying or creating replacement spacers.
- On four speed transmissions with right side shift, both the left and right side spacers are 57 mm long, have an inside diameter of 12.2 mm, and an outside diameter of 24.9 mm.
- On four speed transmissions with left side shift, the left side spacer is 57 mm long and the right side spacer is 42 mm long. Both have an inside diameter of 12.2 mm and an outside diameter of 24.9 mm.
- On five speed transmissions, both the left and right side spacers are 57 mm long, have an inside diameter of 12.2 mm, and an outside diameter of 24.9 mm.
If you need to craft replacements, McMaster-Carr part number 4634T23 will work well for rod stock you can cut to length and drill.
