I am looking for some of the 4mm spacers used to mount Shimano front brake calipers, shown as part number 5 in this diagram. Posted to Kent, please. Cheers!

You can use literally any washers that fit over the bolt as these will be going in front of the fork and directly behind the brake. It doesn't matter if they stand proud a bit excepting for aesthetics.
I can send you some if you're really struggling but 50p should get you some washers from your local DIY/hardware shop to do the job.

Thanks. Yes, I know I can use washers but I need 4mm and prefer not to have a stack of washers, hence why I'm looking for the 'proper' spacers. It's a very nice bike I'm building and I'm being a bit anal about it, LOL.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
