[V8] Wheels

[Bryan Kamerer]

D'oh, forgot to mention that!

Yes, I had to use 4mm spacers with the 35mm wheels because of the inner fin
shape.  Scott caught that.  With 35mm it's going to require a spacer, some
38s do and don't, and after about 40 you are usually safe.

Nowadays, it's not hard to get spacers off the shelf.  Big pain "back in the
day" - I finally got a navy chief in Bremerton to tool me a pair with some
leftover material from the propeller shaft from a boomer.  Sounds like a sea
story, but it's true.  Those were some gorgeous spacers, let me tell you!
