When I  built my 10, the plans called for construction of 4 spacers each wheel made from  aluminum tubing. these spacers were compressed between the brake torque plate  and the inboard wheel pant bracket. Over time these , since they are thin walled  tubes, compress and the disc rotor did not always run true. This seems to cause  an occasional shaking in the brake rotor or brake pad wear is not uniform. I  just installed a Matco main wheel/brake setup. As a result, the spacing between  the bracket and the torque plate changed slightly and I had to purchase new  spacers. I got them from McMaster Carr. They are OD 1/2" ID 1/4" .750 in length;  these seemed to allow completely true running of the rotors and calipers and no  occasional vibration. The wall thickness of the spacers  was 1/8". My original wheel/brakes were the Cleveland 199-104  set.
