But is that for 15mm axle? I have 76 RM spacers for 15mm and they are 19mm across the flats, but i need to know what the 77 or 78 spacers are which are for 17mm axle.

I don't have one to measure. The whole idea is to make the swingarm slots suit these spacers  ;)

19.5, was that on the RHS? I think the left side is narrower because the axle steps down to 15mm there? I just need to know the distance across the flats of the 17mm ID spacer on the RHS as i already have 15mm ID spacers from the A model to work from. if the RHS is 19.5mm, with a 17mm nominimal hole ID that only leaves 1.25mm thickness at the flats which kinda seems a little thin. I know the later PE spacers for 17mm axle are around 21mm so that leaves more thickness at the flat areas Thanks.

slot = 21.5 on the right hand side/brake torque arm side
slot = 19.5 on the left hand side/ sprocket side
can give more swing arm specs if you want but will have to remove a back wheel if ya want other stuff

The 17mm side is the same as 1980 PE then because they are 21mm across the flats which would go in a 21.5mm swingarm slot. That all i really need to know for now. Thanks a lot.
