Alternator spacer material?

[Vincent Holt]

I'm missing a spacer for my alternator bracket. It goes between the Cyl.head and Alt. I would much rather make one vs buying an entire kit. Which type of piping is made from? I tried looking around at all the hardware stores. Nothing with a 3/8" inner diameter hole. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Nothing special. 1/4 Inch pipe is close and the ID can be drilled to 3/8. Menards had bushings you can cut to length. Midwest Fastener® 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD x 1-1/2" Steel Spacer - 5 Count

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have a Menards near me. I live in Delaware. I'll keep searching Thank you

You dont have a lowes, home depot? Order them. Junk yard. By the time you drive to find what you want you could of had a kit delivered.

McMaster-Carr would be another option for you.

Depending on the spacer length, washers work just fine !!

Yes indeed, I've got some Grade 5 and Grade 8 washers on my car in a few spots, they work just fine from Home Depot and Lowe's.

Im aware of the easy fix stuff. I was even going to drill out 3/8"...1/4 drive deep socket. Just wanted it to look close to factory. On my lunch break, I found some similar pipe at this awning place around the corner from my work. It's the stuff they use for framing. I'm going to give this a shot. Thanks for everyone's help.
