Default Temporary fix to JCR 1 ton steering???
I blew out the Delrin spacer they use with their one ton steering. anyone know if theres anything i can buy at a store to fix the problem until the spacers i ordered come in?

cutting board plastic is pretty awesome stuff (has to be to be approved for cutting board material). i bet it outlasts the other one you had and you can make a ton of them
