spacer stock

[Bill Waters]

With these cars, there's always the need to fabricate spacers. I am having a devil of a time finding thick-walled aluminum tubing to cut into spacers. All the usual sources - Industrial Metal, MSC, etc. are coming up dry. Has anyone found a good source? Thanks,

Bill

Did you try McMaster Carr?

I have pick up some from Amazon actually.

Tried all of the above. McMaster may have some that will work, but the problem I encounter is that much of the commonly available tubing have walls that are too thin.

Thanks, guys.

McMaster has 1/2 ID, 3/4 OD aluminum tube - http://www.mcmaster.com/#9056k33/=rhqhs8

Anyone have the dimensions of the spacers supplied by Factory Five?

I got mine at SpeedyMetals.com and these are the sizes I got:

7/8" OD x 0.635" ID x .120" Wall Tube 304 Stainless Steel, Annealed-12"

3/4" OD x 0.500" ID x .125" Wall Tube 6061-T6 Aluminum-24"

I needed a few spacers for custom brackets and used power steering ones from KRC and cut them to size. (Speedway or Jegs). If aluminum ones are what you are looking for I remember a site called aluminum spacers .com had a good assortment.

You may try Aircraft Spruce and Specialty.

Many places sell ID threaded hex stock. Drill it out to what you want and slice it off.

I'll give all of these a look.

Thanks, Guys.
