I identify the spacers by where the holes are in the spacer instead of relying on being able to read the marking on the spacer.
I haven't gotten an RC8.2e kit, so I don't know if they include the 14, 16 and 18 degree spacers. I'm going to assume that they do though.
14 degree spacers:
- The blue spacer will have the hole ABOVE the middle of the spacer when the spacer is oriented correctly to go in the caster block
- The red spacer will have the hole BELOW the middle of the spacer then the spacer is oriented correctly to go in the caster block
16 degree spacers:
- The blue spacer will have the hole AT the middle of the spacer when the spacer is oriented correctly to go in the caster block
- The red spacer will have the hole AT the middle of the spacer then the spacer is oriented correctly to go in the caster block
18 degree spacers:
- The blue spacer will have the hole BELOW the middle of the spacer when the spacer is oriented correctly to go in the caster block
- The red spacer will have the hole ABOVE the middle of the spacer then the spacer is oriented correctly to go in the caster block
