how big is your press?
i was going to build a die set for them but really need to know what the dimensions and type of steel they were built from? the ones that were on my machine are so bad that i cant even measure the diameter of the bolt.
any ideas?

The rod is an odd size, not commonly available, the guy that is making the blanks for me located it.
I have a 20 ton press, not even in the ballpark as far as what is needed. Going to remake the die and put it in a 200 ton brake and see what that does.

Lavoy,
Did you ever have any luck making some of these spacers? I am in need of a pair.

I don't have enough press to do it, so nothing yet.
