Where can I find the tube type spacer material used for bolting up the alternator, and getting it lined up with the crank pulley? I checked the local Home depot, but came up empty.

Anybody???

should be able to just get some 1/2" black pipe from the hardware store.....

Lowe's has spacers like that in their hardware section.

Autozone, Ace Hardware or Mancini. All would be generic "cut to length" 3/8 spacer tubes. Summit also sells spacer washers in various thicknesses (1/8", 1/16"...) for fine tuning.

Well, no doubt that will work, but the stock ones
from my car are definitely hardened more than what
a pipe would be. I do know year one carries the
hardened spacer kit with the long bolt FWIW.

Std black pipe will be fine as long as you keep the bolt's tight and don't allow them to loosen and rattle around and eat themselves up, Heck Ford used aluminum for their spacer's.

Last time I was at the junkyard I grabbed a few spacers off mopars. Shouldn't need any for quite awhile!

Well, mine are old and nasty looking. I thought it would be a good idea to replace them. The one shorter one that fits behind the alternator is just a small piece of pipe. I was hoping to get another spacer and cut it to length to replace that piece, and get a new one for between the alternator "ears". I had no idea it would be so difficult to locate them. Home Depot had really small spacers, like 1/4 inch, but nothing like I was looking for.

I really appreciate all the replies, folks!

Local ACO, Lowes, etc., usually have a metals section that sometimes has 3/4" aluminum round stock. Drill hole inside and cut to length.

what size do you need? These are nos.

Rallyecharger, those look like exactly what I'm looking for. Where did you get those? Are they still available through the dealer?
