Thumbs down Spacers?

Could somebody tell me where i could find some sort of hard plastic tube that a bolt can go through? I need something like that to put my pede tranny inbetween my frame rails on my latest project.

Home Depot has some nylon/plastic spacers in different lengths. I've had some in 1/2" and 3/4" lengths with about a 1/8" inside diameter hole. I know they make them shorter and I believe they have longer ones too. Just check the hardware(nut/bolt) section...
Otherwise, check online at www.McMaster.com. and type in 'spacer' into the search field. pick what you want from Aluminum, Steel, Plastic and so on in different lengths and sizes.

Use metal spacers if possible so they won't compress when you tighten everything down. www.mcmaster.com is a great resource, and you can start your search looking for P/N 92510A. Good luck with the project!

Go to Lowes or HD and get a gray or white 3/8" poly plastic supply line for a toilet. They have a thick well so you can tighten down on it without crushing. Comes in various lengths. Just cut to size needed.
