I cut some 3/8 pipe in work and put a BSP thread on the end works a treat when lining up the wheel, spacer and hub
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Those little bars are really handy!

I hate putting wheels on with discs moving round on the hub.
