Nice bit of detective work there!
I'm working on my own disc brake conversion as we speak. I suspect they use the 1/8" spacer just to get away from the larger factory diameter of the hub snout adjacent to the disc mounting surface. I'm currently working with a 12" rotor from a crown Vic. I chucked a hub up in the lathe to get that fillet to the proper dimensions to A) allow the rotor to seat on the flange and B) locate the rotor on the hub- no slop. I may end up machining the hub snout some more so that I could make a "hub-centric" ring to locate the wheels whatever they may be.
