Default Tanoga SS Question... How thick are the 4 spacers?

I bought mine used and it didn't come with the spacers. So, being the schumck I am, I installed it anyways! Works great, except reverse. A quick STFA reveals me to find that I'm missing those spacers.

So, now I need to go get washers to put in there. How thick are those spacers????

TIA!

Default Meh - who needs reverse? ;)

So can I hit you up for assistance in installing the UUC I got off of Gary? I was thinking about doing it at Kevin's when we do the GTG/BBQ.

Default Fo sho! It's easy to do now, and I know which tools I need...

and it really can't be done with a allen wrench. You've got to have the proper hex socket.

Also, the 1/4" drive torx socket with a 12" extension makes things very easy.

Default ...and use 4 1/4" thick 5/16" hex nuts for spacers like for the Tanoga! Makes shifts buttery smooth.

From another post

I used 1/4" thick nylon washers/spacers. Drilled out the middle just so that the screws would screw thru and then spin freely, thus no need to worry about them falling when reinstalling.

yeah, the first SS install is a complete PITA. After that, I could do one in under 20 minutes now
