Hello, I'm looking for an Overdrive Spacer to suit a R9 for my Speedster build.
There is one on eBay but wont ship to Australia , Tuscon has one but its AU$250 by the time it gets here.

I can very easily make one , including the recess for the seal

If anyone has one handy can you measure the thickness please. I can make it too thick & skim till it works but a whole lot easier if I start in the ballpark.
Thanks very much.

Can't help with the thickness but whether you find or need to make one, did want to caution about remembering there is an offset between mounting holes and center hole on the spacer. The offset is so slight it can be difficult to notice visually but the solenoid and spacer can be forced and will still seem to tighten up even if bolted incorrectly. If that occurs, the spacer can be damaged and the solenoid plunger will be sluggish or bind completely. Depending on the vintage of the factory spacer, small holes located nearer one side of the spacer or actually on one side will be at the rear of the car if properly installed.

I should have one for you, I will confirm tonite.
