Front spindle spacer

I've recently aquired Badger a new front wheel, however the spindle isn't the same diameter as my present one. It's 20mm as opposed to 25mm.
I've changed the wheel bearings so they are the same as my old and will take my spindle, but there's also a spacer who's internal diameter is too small . It goes between the bearings inside the hub.
Q1. Is it there to prevent you overtightening the spindle/spacers agianst the bearings and breaking the flange that the bearings sit against?
Q2. If Q1 is a yes, does anyone have a spare they would sell or swap for my smaller one?
Q3. Is there anything else I've not picked up on?

Thank you in anticipation of a guru-esque answer.


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.
