I'd be willing to buy your NOS spacers if you still have them and willing to sell. Thank you.

Just make your own. Easy and simple. Two pieces of 1/2 x 1 x 13 flat bar is all that you need. Drill a hole or two in one end for some stops and you are in business.

Kub 6040 told me just weld a bolt on the end they work perfect

At one time apparently someone had made up a whole bunch of them because several vendors were selling them at the "Red Power Showdown" in Bloomsburg PA back in 2014.

Unfortunately I don't know if there are any still kicking around unsold. Google is not very forthcoming on this particular subject.

I sincerely doubt someone who posted about these spacers 5 years ago is interested in selling them now.

You're going to have to make a set yourself. Don't have a steel yard locally? Too intimidated to go into your local steel supplier? Go with an online metal supplier. I've dealt with Metals Depot. They will cut you a 13" piece of 1/2x1 flat steel for $7.66 each. All up with shipping to my place is $36. Then you don't even need a hacksaw. All you need is a hand drill to make the holes for the cross pins.

I just did a little more digging and a place called Online Metals will cut two 13" sticks of 1/2x1 flat bar and ship them to me for a little over $26.
