1/2"x.4375"- FLAT SPACER ALUMINIUM

You are purchasing- 
1 x FS8-.4375 1/2" x .4375" FLAT SPACER- ALUMINIUM
(Sold singular, please select 2 x per Joint you require)




DIMENSIONS- 
INSIDE DIA- 1/2" (Bolt Size)
OUTSIDE DIA- 1.00"/25.4mm 
INSTALLED HEIGHT- .4375"/11.11mm (Width of the Spacer)

This Spacer will give you a total installed width (when running 2 x Spacers, 1 x Joint) of:
1/2" HEIM JOINT- 1.500"/38.1mm 
1/2" SPHERICAL BEARING- 1.375"/34.92mm

SPACER ADAPTER MATERIAL- ALUMINIUM 6061T6


Great for using as an additional spacer when increasing the installed width of a Heim Joint (for example stepping a 1/2" Heim up to suit a 1.500" width).
 

Uses in Automotive and Racing

1. Suspension Systems: These spacers are commonly used in suspension setups to allow for greater angular movement of rod ends (Heim joints). This is crucial in racing vehicles where suspension components need to handle extreme articulation during high-speed maneuvers.

2. Steering Systems: In steering linkages, misalignment spacers ensure smooth operation by allowing rod ends to pivot freely, reducing stress on the components and improving handling precision.

3. Custom Fabrication: They are often used in custom builds to adapt rod ends to specific bolt sizes, making them versatile for various applications.

Benefits

• Enhanced Range of Motion: By increasing the angular movement of rod ends, these spacers improve the flexibility and performance of suspension and steering systems.

• Reduced Stress: They minimize stress on rod ends and brackets, extending the lifespan of components.

• Precision Alignment: Misalignment spacers help maintain precise alignment, which is critical for optimal performance in racing conditions.

• Versatility: They can adapt rod ends to different bolt sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Our Spacers and Adapters are not only manufactured to the highest of quality control standards but are designed and engineered to an extreme duty construction, specific to the requirements of Australian Drag, Drift & Circuit Racers as well as Off-Road Race classes.
