[quote=tominpa]If you can measure the inside and outside diameters of your existing bushing or spacer, it is very easy to find aluminum spacers made to that specification. I don't know what you need, but it would be a cinch to find "Aluminum Spacer Bushing, 1/2″ OD, 3/8″ ID" even on a site like Amazon, as well as many automotive and parts machining sites. Spacers will come in many lengths, but it should be easy to cut to size. The main use of the spacer is to prevent wear and elongation of the hole, and older boats were produced with just a hole bored in the rudder.[/quote]
