hi there need to no size of disk spacers for use of my stock 19inch wheel on 39mm wide glide conversion. so i can choose the right ones to buy off ebay they all seem to be different thicknesses.
They are, what are you going to have to do is mock up your new front end and then measure what you're going to need for spacers to make sure your rotor aligns properly with your caliper..
Brought it from aussie in a kit but seems bits missing. No name onit streering stem was wrapped in usa grease paper seems to be the same as a evo softail custom the parts i got look the same on ronnies harley parts diagrams. Think ill get a engineer to make up spacers
Really for your application it can be as simple as this ... subtract the fork tube center-to-center dimension of new wideglide Trees from your original narrowglide trees (they are 7") and then divide by 2 ... that's the dimension you reference to make all the associated parts.
For example, the Harley "Wide glide" dimension can be a few different sizes (or any custom size if you're making all the parts), but let's use the evo softail custom (FXSTC) you reference.
That has 9-7/8" Tube centers ... so 9-7/8" - 7" = 2-7/8" ÷ 2 = 1-7/16 (1.4375" or 36.51mm)
In that example 1-7/16 (1.4375" or 36.51mm) would be your Rotor spacers, Fender spacers, and the dimension you would add to your existing wheel spacer lengths** (**the Right -side wheel spacer length would really depend on how they made the longer axle's "shoulder").
But all that aside, if they made all the parts correctly (Big "IF"), the length of your fender spacers is what the the Rotor spacer width should be ... YMMV

Just a follow up ... I was looking at the Vulcan site for something and this "jumped out" at me ... a Rotor Spacer HERE that would be used in my example ... 1.437" wide

Nearly there. Engineer has made some up they were quiet wide should have it back and on this week. Costing me a little more than someone that pumps them out like vulcan though one off jobs always are.
