Bob

there is only one for the Model A, used on the early Victoria`s. but there is another one out there, after market used on some V8`s it is smaller in size. and it is not flat on the face side like the original ones

Yes, see Steve's Fig 22. (If this is the type of spacer you are talking about). I found his out when I tried to put one of these on both my rigs. One went on easy, the other took some work.

Hi Bob,
At one these pieces were reproduced. Brattons and I imagine other vendors carried them. You may want to call Walt Bratton to see what he knows about them. I think he works one day a week at the store.
Regards,
Dave
