I guess that did work out pretty good!

Back when I had it apart and started the thread, I had written the dims down to different times and could never find either when I needed them. Whose law is it that states it's always there when you don't need it, but you'll never find it when you do need it?

The dims on my used spacer are:
1.75" od
1.592" id
= .074" wall
4.650" long

That's definitely a 1-3/4" pipe cut to length. Although it looks like fence rail, it must not be or they wouldn't rust so bad and so quick.

I have a few piece of 1 3/4 DOM CM here. Sounds like I might have a use for a piece.

I guess I'm metallurgically illiterate- what is DOM CM?

How'd ya'll like that two dollar word up there? LOL!

That is a piece of Chrom-moly tubing, I'm not quite sure what the DOM stands for, maybe diameter of measurement?

Drawn-Over-Mandrel.

DOM has a more consistant wall thickness and ID than standard pipe. Plus you don't have a weld line like standard pipe does.

And CM is Chromoly.

Sorry for the abreviations. I post on car forums as well as here, and those terms are common when discussing roll cages.

wonder what the tube inside the lonestar carrier is?? i just ordered one to replace my destroyed bearing, i got the tube off with minimal effort but it is damaged from the bearings, got the lonestar billett carrier assembly with bearings and inner tube for 150.

This is a bearing spacer off of a 01 kawi lakota sport(same carrier as Mojave)..it has been through every kind of mud, water, sludge..even the dreaded black creek(mine drainage) which rusts quads on contact. The seals in the axle were completely gone but the spacer only has minor rust. It looks to be zinc plated? and it was never taken out...ever!
