The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Rear Pinion Bearing Spacer "Wrench" (51 3100)

I bought a 3.54:1 (Patrick's Truck Parts) ring and pinion set off of eBay. I went to install the set and it is missing the funny wrench shaped spacer for the rear pinion bearing. Someone told me that it was 0.125 (1/8") thick but that seem too thick. Can someone tell me how thick that spacer is supposed so I can make one?

Many Thanks in Advance

Walt,

Here are some dimensions:

1/8" thick

1 7/8" opening/throat

about a 4.5" "handle" that gets bent to fit over the pinion gear
