HA! Nylon spacer!..... makes sense.... couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do all rubber without getting floppy...... (no wise cracks you Boston people... You know who you are LOL)

franko,

Not sure I can help but I have used McMaster-Carr for odd ball items that I have had a tough time locating.

Smoke, on my Mitchell, I used short cut sections of a1 type fuel line, I just cut it about 1/4 inch long, the a1 one fuel line is thicker than normal fuel line, so it does a better job as a spacer.

i've used plastic retention collars from toro hydraulic irrigation valves,
much easier to get fuel line, great idea spare

good stuff guys... I'm gonna use a hole saw to cut spacers from a cutting board and then sand em nice n smooth by spinning with the drill

Just did the same type fix on my buddys kencraft "challenger" we used the small black washers from home depot in the plumbing section. They don't feel Luke the quite a rubber material there stiffer. They worked perfect. Just an idea.

tried em... need something much thicker and bigger around.... just didn't think of hard plastic before

Just be careful when mounting your windshield. Too much torque and you'll crack the Plexiglas around the mounting hole like we see in the first picture. Whenever I've had to mount plexi to anything I prefer a softer material (like hard rubber) that has a certain amount of "give" for just that reason. :head:

understood and agree fully... I plan on soft rubber mounts and plastic spacers together
