yes those are the spacers, I remember using them but they wouldn't fit on the housing end, they were a tad smaller ID. so I got a hand file and filled them out till they fit, also the caliper support brackets were a little tricky because of the hand brake cable ears had to face forward, on this one I cant remember the details, if your car has shocks mounted on the back then is easier cause calipers go on front and wont interfere, also after I installed the spacers the caliper still wasnt center enough to center the caliper so I put SS washers between caliper and bracket, about 1/8 to center the caliper...remember I used the deep brake rotors, not sure if it would be easier with other shallow rotors..they work great...I didnt even used 4WDB brake proportioning valve...using oem brake booster system dual reservoir..I wish I had taken pictures and documented all i did. would have being eaiser to pass all info to you guys..hope this help
You used the factory disc/drum booster, master cylinder and prop valve?
