Didnt know transmission had them, thought only rearends did for the pinion? I got a solid sleeve to replace the crush collar in the 10 bolt from Thunder, raytech piece, I would call them since they deal with Raytech parts.

I used the Ratech solid pinion spacer kit on my
10-bolt. I believe they also sell them for various
other rear ends which, if you need the 4L80E,
one of is probably in your future.

Looks like you may be out of luck with Ratech, I see only 12-bolt
and wimpier there...

On the other hand, the thing does not look that complicated, just
a hard tube (swaged to fit, is the tough part) and a pack o' shims.
I bet you could chase down shim-washers from some industrial
source and might have to "roll your own" collar from separate bits
of progressively sized hard steel tubing.
Get a local machine shop to make 10 "kits", and you could probably
sell 8?
Might call Ratech and see if they're just slow in updating the web
catalog, or if they'd consider adding the 14-bolt product with you
as their first guinea pig. Being as you've got a "display grade"
rig they might even sponsor yer ***.
and wimpier there...

Thanks Jimmy,
I called Ratech last week and they do not make them.. The guy I spoke with was going to check into possibly making them and "call me back". Anyway I was planning to just have them made at a machine shop, but thought I would post here just in case someone had already made a few as you suggested... Problem is now that I was brain dead last night when I posted I can edit my thread just not my subject line! So might loose a little attention that I need.. Oh well..
Thanks for all your input! Its appreciated..
