I have a 72 front spoke wheel without a disc brake and a 81 front end. Does anyone have pictures of how they spaced the wheel without the disc brake? I am going to lace the hub to a 21 inch rim and run no front brake. I have the speedo spacer for left side but I need a spacer for the other side? I have a extra spacer from the rear with a dust cover that fits almost perfect inside the wheel where the bearings are. Any pics would help.

I personally would look for a later model hub, to simplify the swap, and it will be more attractive as a "Spool" hub than that hub. Then you can use all stock parts to make it fit
 
Hugh would it be easier just to sell the entire wheel I have and start with a used wheel or could I find a new aftermarket spool with the same dia. for the axle and match it up with the existing rim with Buchanans spokes? Shit I think I am making things way too complicated.
