Oil tank spacer

#1

Post by 1950Panhead »

I have a pair of original oil tank spacers, they are .500" tall.
Colony sent me a pair of spacers that are .444" tall, .056" may not sould like much but it is.
Do swingarm pans use a shorter spacer?

I've used lots of Colony parts, always good parts.
This is the first Colony mishap.
The difference is enough is misalign the oil tank/primary and oil tank/fender.
The only other spacers I can think of are seat spacers, I requested oil tank spacers unless they sent seat spacers and I didn't notice.
Are seat spacers .444? Other .444" panhead spacers?
