Hi,

others have cut spacers from HD polyethylene, and what I did was get a
couple of the stock hard rubber ones from the wrecker and stacked them
2 per side. I wonder how many of the stock ones one can stack maybe
glue them together?

Anyhow, those pictured on the web site look "easy enough" to make at
home, metal lathe etc.

Hello collective wisdom,

Anyone know of a domestic source for the type of spring spacers shown
here:

I contacted the folks in Germany, and they'll only do business with a
business, not with a private individual. I've contacted a couple of the
standard vendors to act as intermediaries, but they are not interested.

Thanks,

Joel
