<p>Ah, OK. That makes sense. Kool Stop and Avid both sell their adjustable ball-and-socket spacer kits as separate hardware packages for less than $5. Those could be used just as plain spacers if you can't find fat enough washers.</p>

<p>I'll post a pic tonight. The issue is the bike was designed for spooky brakes which used a post style pad. With that brake style you got the best braking power, which is not much, by spacing the studs around 75m vs the now standard 80mm. I talked to a tech at trp who said I should be able to add some 3mm and be ok. </p>

<p>Have you tried swapping the washers/spacers that are already on there (sometimes the spacer on the outside is wider than the one just behind the pad holder)? Agree that a picture's needed, though. Those brake studs sound really wide.</p>
