Default Who Still Sells The ol' School Hex TLT Wheel Wideners?

I used to see a lot of references to Tobee about these wideners that were available on eBay, but after searching, I can't find any there. They were also available from at least one vendor here on RCC, but I can't remember who I got them from, and from searching I can't find them. They were available is varying widths, and are pretty much hex aluminum "standoffs" with a 12mm o.d. and a pin slot on one end.

I went cutting mine up this evening for a drifter project, thinking they would be easily replaceable, but then when I go to order a new set or two, I can't find them.

Any vendors still sell this type? Any other outlets for them?

I know MSD, CPE, and TCS has different versions of TLT wideners, but I need ones like the ones pictured.

Why I am interested in this particular style is the fact that they can be cut to varying widths, and still be functional. The G-Mades (and other styles) are great for the particular width they are designed for, but I am looking for something that can be bought full width, and cut to length as needed.

I am writing out a "how to" for adjustable wheel wideners for touring/drifter cars, and I had it all ready to go until I came to providing suppliers of the items needed, then got stuck here.


In my write up, I will be "plugging" whatever vendor we have as the provider...............hint hint, free advertising.

I will be watching this as I have been trying to get some of these for quite a while for a very similar reason. I got a set of these a long time ago from The Crawler Store and they had them listed then as from G-Made.

I loved the G mades. Got mine at TCS but they changed the style a while ago. I used my set on my drifter but would like to get another set because of the versatility.
