Looking to stock up on a few different sizes, but particularity need 8 of the really small ones that go between the pickup and the mounting plate.
Thanks!

Jack,
Some steelers just use surgical tubing or short springs.

I usually purchase No.4 size and drill them out to 1/8"

No experience here, but looks pretty good. US mfg., no minimum order, several payment methods, return policy, wide selection...even have threaded spacers if you want to build pedal rod extenders...and there's a phone number.

...'course you need to know what sizes you want. http://www.aluminumspacers.com/

Not sure why you would drill out #4 Jerry when #6 is available w/o drilling?

I was referring to rod spacers and trying to eliminate the .015 of slop. Seems like I had an older Emmons that had smaller I.D. spacers. Maybe No.5 which would work perfectly with 1/8" rods. I hold No.4 spacers in a tool makers vise for drilling. The No.6 spacers would work fine for the pickups.
