Vast Kart / Quarter Midget Spindle Spacer Kit

Kit Includes (2) 1/8″, (2) 1/4″ & (2) 1/2″ Spacers — Fits a 5/8″ Spindle
The VAST Kart/Quarter Midget Spindle Spacer Kit is engineered specifically for youth quarter‐midget and kart racing applications. Each kit includes six precision-machined spacers — two each of 1/8″, 1/4″, and 1/2″ thickness — to provide flexibility in spindle alignment and hub positioning on a 5/8″ spindle.

Whether fine-tuning track alignment, correcting hub offset, or adjusting for wear and tolerance buildup, the kit offers quick, reliable spacer options to get your setup dialed in for consistent handling and performance.

Built for durability and engineered to VAST’s exacting standards, these spacers help maintain wheel end geometry when combinations of hubs, bearings, or adapters shift clearance. They’re ideal for racers who demand dependable, repeatable results without guesswork.

Why-Choose This Kit:

• Versatile set of spacer dimensions (½″, ¼″, ⅛″) covers many applications.

• Specifically supports 5/8″ shaft/spindle configurations – commonly used in quarter-midget chassis.

• Helps maintain correct hub to rotor alignment, improving braking consistency and reducing unwanted variables.

• Quick-change, user-friendly spacing solution—ideal for teams that need fast adjustments between sessions.
  

Application Notes & Tips:

1. Ensure the spindle is clean and free of burrs before installing spacers to avoid alignment issues.

2. Start with the thinnest spacer needed and work up only as required—this allows you to fine-tune the hub position while keeping track of changes.

3. When changing hub or bearing assemblies, verify run-out after spacer installation to confirm that no additional misalignment has been introduced.

4. Keep the unused spacer sizes together and clean in your pit kit—easy access during race day can save valuable time.

5. Always torque any wheel end hardware to manufacturer or chassis builder spec after installing spacers, and verify hub bearing preload if applicable.

Ideal For:

• Youth quarter-midget racers looking for a durable, flexible spacer kit.

• Pit crews who need to accommodate different hub/rotor combinations without ordering custom spacers.

• Teams upgrading or refurbishing older spindle setups and wanting to correct for clearance or wear issues.

The VAST Kart/Quarter Midget Spindle Spacer Kit is a smart addition to your pit box — compact, cost-effective, and engineered to keep your wheel end geometry controlled so you can focus on what matters: speed, consistency and finishing strong.
