Title: Got my spring spacers made (finally)Pics
Post by: 92Sidekick4x4 on December 24, 2004, 06:07:41 PM
Ok, dunno if i told you guys but i baught some polyethline (basically special plastic) to make my spring spacers, i cut it about 1 month ago and finally got around to drilling them out, turned out great, the back ones are 2 1/4" and front ones arre 2", i am hoping to install them just after the new year, i can wait

well because when i got it it was just soilid round stock, so i drilled a 1/4" pilot hole thinking that a hole saw would work great, didnt work tooooooo well so i used a wood drill bit called a "forsner bit" that worked great, the stuff cut excelent, any one looking for this material i got another foot of it, real cheap  ;D

I can't tell from the pics, did you cut an indentation for the end of the coil?

Is that necessary?

Do the "other" spacers have that?

The springs are 4 3/8" outside Dia.
Stock that size should work well, could
probably go to 4 1/2" with no problems

Funny you should say that. I didn't tell you but it had been opened on one end and taped back. Probably seeing if it was something bad. A large, hard, heavy cylinder from Canada had to raise some suspicion. ;D
