I thought they were made from poly, something that flexes.

if they are solid they would need welded in so they dont bounce around. the poly spacers are about $40 new & you can also find them used, even on CL. I dont know any fab shops that would touch anything for that amount.

TOny, I know it won't be liked by every one but I know you have some **** pipe around and you could take 2" pipe and some 3" pipe and cut them about 2" tall and the take some 1/4" or some flat plate and weld it together like a sandwich.

I m not saying its a good idea or safe but you have those materials around.

On a side not I still have that exhaust pipe that you welded out of some more **** pipe.

Its not worth the time and effort to make them when you can buy them for cheap. And I am not saying that just cause I have a real pair in my basement ;) PM me if interested.
