Spacers

[Guest phil howard]

Has anyone found a good source of material to make spacers from.

Using washers seems a bit of a faf but finding a suitable thick wall tube is proving quite hard.

I would prefer to source / buy the item rather than use up another favour getting them made for me by one of the contractors.

 

Thanks

Cheers Bone,

 

I priced up getting proper spacers from stainlessparts and it was getting upto £100..........which I would never get passed Mrs Phil. This afternoon will be spent avoiding meetings and looking for 1/2" tubing.

If you would like some spacers made then I have a lathe at home and could make them for you or any other member that wants them.

Send me the dimensions that you want and material required so that I can source a supplier.

Martin,

I have been promised some 25mm OD thick wall tubing from a friend (though I may need to drill it out..........if this turns out to be no good I'll drop you a note.

Many Thanks
