[W126 Coupe] H&R SPACERS

[Dick Spellman]

Clay:

If you are trying to install H&R spacers on the early model SEC 
(something like 82-85) they will not fit!  There is no safe way to grind 
the lip off of H&R hub centric spacers.  To do so leaves all the weight 
on the lug bolts and you never get the wheel to run centered and hence 
balanced.

The only other chance you could take (*and I am not recommending it*) is 
to use a die grinder to take off the hub material so the H&R spacer then 
fits properly.
