I've just roughed the outer spacers a little oversize and will skim the last mm or so once I have it ready to bold together with the wheel & clamps. I will then take the final skim from the outer to leave the lip that retains them in the seal (can't hold onto the spacer to cut it down if I do that first).
Then I just have to push out the steering races out (the bearing was indeed past it) and I'm dropping off the triple to my weldy guy. He has some thick plate ally I believe, will post pics when done. Will bolt up from bottom & be tacked to the old stops.

Hi F5
Are you able to share the final dimensions of the axle spacers you made up?
I'm procrastinating on the same route and may also use the older GG bearings in my 09 wheel as an easy way to adapt to the 20mm YZ axle.
