nissandoms47 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hey guys. I have a friend whos a machinist and can make some spacers for us. I told him 1 inch for the front struts.

OR99.5Speed Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hmm...interesting. So I guess a 1" front strut spacer will even out the wheel gap from front to rear with an OME suspension? How much would it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy98 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I could scan in a copy of the actual spacer and send it to you. What would be the cost, and could I get it in a 3/4 inch? Just e-mail me and let me know where to send it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I may be able to work off of a scan, but thats pretty crappy in my book. Sorry, just machinist reality... I'm thinking I can get better info elsewhere, so hold off on that for a bit. I'm assuming you want aluminum spacers ? Price depends on material thickness and size, not to mention how many are to be made. In other works, I don't have enough into to give an accurate quote yet.

herm Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Seems to me if an existing spacer was scanned at actual size, 300dpi tiff - that should serve as an excellent template. You could scan a machinist ruler with it. Ultimately you'd want the CNC programmed to cut them in various widths - but you'd only have to change one variable in the program. or you could buy them from Rocky Road if 9/16 tall is OK. I suppose you could stack them, but they might creak. http://www.rocky-road.com/pathfinder.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02silverpathy Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 stacked my rock road 4.5/16" with my 3/4" and got no creaks...tigtened down the new studs to 60ft/lbs that may have something to do with it!! Did anyone hear that??? 4.5/16" spacers??????? I have really tried to tout the idea that unless they are feeling friendly those rocky road spacers are teeeeny tiiiiny..squeak squeak...don't blow your cash! :furious: I made a trace around those spacers so if I can be of any help please let me know...I already footed the bill to go through this idea! :contract: <----i don't want cash that guy just means I have all the info needed to make some real spacers!

dernt Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 hmmmm, 4.5/16??? How about 9/32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02silverpathy Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) was kind of a joke, the web site said they were 9/16", but instead they were literally half of that! But it appears that your math is better!! Edited January 1, 2006 by 98silverpathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
