'92 Deore LX chainring spacers for GT Pantera

[Mikexx3]

In the midst of rebuilding my old GT Pantera from 92 (again). I'd taken the bike apart years ago to clean if I remember correctly. This included taking the chainrings off to give the cranks a good scrub. I must have lost interest and they've sat in a draw ever since. I'm now determined to get the old girl running again and have found all the bolts but the spacers are long gone.

If I bolt all the chain rings to the spider there's clearly no gap, so spacers must have been used but i've no idea what size so I don't know what I should be searching for or buying. It's the original groupset, 3x7 Deore LX

A couple of pictures attached showing the chainrings as they are now in the hope somebody here can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

The original Pantera came with a mix of Deore LX and 500 LX including the chainset.
I know as I have one myself, !
In an effort to keep the Pantera at a certain price point GT kitted out the Pantera with the 500lx chainset and either LX or Exage hubs. The rest was mostly Deore LX. Cosmetically there's not a lot of difference between the Deore LX and 500LX chainset.
Though the chainset in your photo looks like a Deore DX (mt60)
I have a spare Deore LX chainset which you can buy if you're interested.
I'm not sure where you'd find spacers for a early 90's Shimano chain sets. Possibly first place to look would be eBay.

Thanks very much for the reply. Cheers also for the offer of a chainset but I'm already 1 extra chainset into this as bought the attached on ebay thinking it would be a straight swap. It wasn't. The new one sat far too far from the frame.

I must have ridden this bike to the moon and back in the nineties and really keen to get it rolling again so if I can't sort the spacers I may give you a shout

TA spacers fit and can be sourced new. iIRC they are 5.5mm but can measure if you get stuck.

Hey Hamster, thanks for that. If you get a chance would you mind measuring, no worries if not as I've found these in 5.5mm so probably worth a punt at this price

If it's an MT60, you need 5.3 mm spacers. 5.5 will probably work.
