Ok I have an great welder for a father, and in the jeep builds thread I saw a guy fabbed up his own coil spacers I was wondering if this is recommended if its not a bad idea does anyone know the dimensions they would have to be???
thanks

 

If your talking about the guy that got the parts from the Hardware store than YES IT"S A BAD IDEA....

Spacers are cheap buy so and do it right..

 

lol not sure If he got it from a hardware store but he used 3inch pipe 3/4X3/8 and a couple extra little things it looked good and soild anyways?

 

If i was going to make my own i would use a solid stock of aluminum and put it on a lathe. But most people do not have lathes for no how to work them. This is the only way i would make my own.

 

isnt aluminum expensive??? wouldnt the rubber ones be cheaper to buy outright?

 

Aluminum isn't to bad($) for what material you would need but good aluminum welders are hard to find. Very susceptible to having the welds crack. Even if they are good welds. Solid stock would be best but why not just go to ebay and pick up a set(all 4) for 55-60$. That's what I did and they work great.

 

I would just grab them off ebay but being from PEI Canada shipping costs are from 40-50 dollars for the four spacers just wondering if there is a way to save 100 dollars
