Robert,

From what i understand, the spacers are included in the kit because the
boots fit many year models of these vehicles.  I asked the same question
as you when I was installing joints and boots on an 84 Westy, and the
List consensus was that the spacers were model-specific. I omitted them
on my 84, and all is well.  I'll look in my parts cache for the spares,
if you still need them. Let me know.
