Pat, do you know the story behind this mod? I mean:

A - Who first came up with the idea?
B - Are the plastic spacers used in anything other than this mod? If not, what came first, the mod or the spacers? Wink

I’ve been wondering about this for a while.

A - Not exactly sure - i do believe it is the japanese…shawn fumo might know. pat mitchell taught me Tongue
B - I’ve never seen plastic spacers used in anything else. The spacers came first…in fact, plastic spacers came on older versions of raiders STOCK. then they switched to metal.

back in 1998 - 1999, team high performance was offering “90’s, or 95’s” meaning METAL spacers that were sanded down a certain amount (where 100’s would be a non-sanded spacer).

people used these for more response.

the plastic is used in the modern day mod because plastic is more “crushable” then metal…so when you crank, there’s less chance of the plastic breaking (since the plastic can squeeze a bit)…

this is all hearsay though

let me know if you have any other questions!
