Default Where to get rod spacers?
I got new rods for my G2 poly/rod LCAs and forgot about the spacers. Would a parts store have these?

What happened to the old ones?

Call LGs and they can provide what you need.

Good luck sourcing these on your own ... they are metric ...

Yea, why can't you use the old ones? I don't see a item like that wearing out?

Rusted pretty bad. Rather not have a rusted part touching my new quiet expensive rods. But I'm also looking into POR-15 and might go that route.

A $0.99 scotch bright pad works great on rusted metal

Yep you could just clean them up, I figured they would be aluminum? I heard the POR is good stuff but I havent persnally used it.

Por15 is great, you can have the spacers powder coated or anodized also, and they will never rust again. They are steel, not AL. AL doesnt rust
