Well? This would go on the steering spindles and can be made to any length and the spindle hole can be almost any size, also the spacer can be almost any size in diameter. Now if your ordering from mike ( which you should be:wave: ) then these spacers that i have pictured are PERFECT for those spindles and hubs he last listed on his website. The outside diameter fits perfectly on the outside of the bearing, not ruining any of the dust shield or squishing the bearings. I run em on my own barstool and they are perfect! Now if i can get enough interest in them i will make them, but i wanna make around 5-10 sets to offset the cost of making it and shipping it. Also they are aluminum, so light weight and very easy to polish

Hello xtman, I thought your idea and design of spacers would go over very good! I do not believe the product was the problem! I believe it could be made to sell great by using a better comparison. One thing to bring more attention to this product is that you could state that these are not those cheap old plastic spacers but High Quality Aluminum Spacers. Replace those cheesy plastic spacers with an Improved design and longer lasting, better looking spacers. I saw everything in your sales pitch but a comparison of the originals. I would rather have aluminum spacers than plastic any day! You bring out the fact these are better than the originals. Make it sound as if they do not have these they have something Cheesy on thier Stool! LOL Just a suggestion not trying to tell you how to do anything!:blob_red:

Actually those have been around for many years. There like .50 each at any kart shop.

IM afraid stool-sample is right,
we buy them by the bags different widths and just slide them over the spindles as we set up the karts. We have aluminum and steel ones as well. I think a bag of 10 was 6 dollars or something and the wider ones were around 10. Great idea thought out to make one the length you want it in one shot

Ok, Have not been around karting for a while. My dad used to race them back years ago, like in the 50's and 60's LOL. Still a great idea Just a little late I suppose!! You could always have a sale on them for 4 for a dollar! LOL
