i have been keeping my eye out, haven't found any yet though.
might be able to custom make one? iirc that shaft is 6mm diameter might be able to use a drill press or machine some holes in a solid rod and make some spacers. still going to keep my eye out though, wish i had been able to stock up on them.

thanks for keeping a eye out. I guess I could make them if I have to. At least I have them in other trucks to take em out and use as a template.

Yes I think so also. But the plastic spacers are the easy part to make. Lol. It’s finding a hardened 6mm shaft and drill it out. I know the 8.0 has bigger holes for the pins.

I know you can get some 6mm round rod on Amazon, (double check that it is 6mm though should be able to see what bearings go in the trans for size) and then use a vice on a drill press, you would want to get non- hardened then harden once you have the almost finished product. Get a good enough setup might be able to start selling them to people lol in my FB groups lots of people looking for foc for these.

I think one time ,I ordered some aluminum stock on E-bay before so that I can make some brackets!

So if anyone needs something like that ,it is out there ,a local iron shop may not have that certain size as
they usually carry a more common!
