Anyone happen to have these spacers hanging around? MKII era.

Removed to inspect something. Got sidetracked a bit and now they have disappeared into the ether.

They're nothing special. You can just cut them from some .5 ID x .75 OD tubing.

Thanks Jeff. May give that a go but have nothing to really give them a straight cut. Probably end up a few degrees off

If you can’t cut them perfectly straight then, cut them a little long and file to fit.

You can also stack up washers. There is no tendency for the coil over to twist so washers will not cause any binding. If you want something a little nicer go to jegs.

Scroll through to pick 1/2" ID in various lengths. If you can't get a perfect length the frame ears will bend pretty easily.

Thanks Craig. Good find.
