Anybody have a spare black plastic or hard rubber spacer for the chrome sail?

so frustrating you try to do something and being held back because of missing a little piece like that but I don't see any way to put the chrome trim on the sail without it otherwise the trim would bend when you tighten the screwAttached Image

I could be wrong, but don't recall a spacer in the roll bar sail panel?

I probably was not clear so I added a picture of the spacer to the original post

Yes it is stock, and there to prevent overzealous tightening (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ace Hardware sells bushings like that.
IDK if the dog bones are the same thickness? If so, could use part of one of those?

Maybe you could use the thick 3/16" fuel line and just cut off what you need

Maybe you could use the little spacers made for the rocker panels and valance? ..maybe doubled up? 914rubber carries them - but contact them either way, I’d be surprised if they didn’t have a solution. Good luck.

I thought about that but the center hold might be a little to large. That would definitely be better than nothing at all

I bought spacers from the Hardware Store and sanded them down to the correct height.

The screw is a 2.9 x 19mm oval head self tapping screw. Bel Metric should have them.
