Rear hubcentric wheel spacers don't fit

Yep,  ive decided il be making some spacer plates at work instead.  Il be able to keep my locking wheel bolts as well as having no faffing around with chamfers and longer wheel bolts etc.

Id stay away from Aluminium and use BMS or P20

BMS will rust and P20 is tool steel, which is pre-hardened and wont exactly be that easy to machine and drill, I would use some 304 stainless, pretty cheap, easy to machine and doesn't rust.
Aluminium would be ok for this application as theres no real stress on the spacer plate itself once everything is all bolted up together, my first choice would still be the stainless tho

I cant see how using aluminium could be an issue when you consider that virtually all the off the shelf wheel spacers are made from machined solid blocks of aluminium.

I was thinking the same thing  I've got a bit of blue plastic and that's ok.
