The second video down shows you how to make the aluminum spacers, and the hardened thrust washers that go between the aluminum spacers and the rod are a standard hardened thrust washer such as that used with radial needle thrust bearings. McMaster Carr sells the hard washers separate. The part No. for the 1/2" size for West Bends is: 5909K44, and they sell for a bit over a dollar each. They are .032 thick, and are .938 in O.D.. Ted
