Anyone know a local machine shop that can create a custom "washer"?

If you want $10 you will not find it easy to have a metal part made to your spec.

Really, don't go cheap on these things. It's insulting to anyone who is a true professional.

I can spend some time on the lathe tomorrow and see what i can come up with. Not sure if its the right grade of stainless but i recall using some a few months ago. I can update if I end up with the right stuff.

I made these around then. The part on the left is a stainless exhaust slip-in flange and the part on the right is a titanium threaded adapter.

Sleeve bearings. Play with the filters.

This was the closest I could find, maybe you could cut it down.

holy crap, i googled "lathe" (because I'm not familiar with the term) and when you click on "images", there's a section called "accident" on the top left. is that pretty much gore? didn't click on the link because I just ate

@swarb grainger gave me the most hope this morning but the minimum thickness is 1/2" which would not allow the reverse lockout to engage.

@yelsew sounds good! I'm looking at using Stainless Steel 303 or 304. If you can work with it, PM me some details

@mav1178 yeah, I'm not in the machining field but when I look at the time involved, it makes sense to go by the hour. I was looking at the size and what I believe would be a simple creation.

Only one cut away from being right.
5 for $4.21
1/2inch cut down to 6mm.
10 for $4.21

Checked my stock today. Unless you want a machined titanium spacer for a quite pretty penny, I like swarb's idea.

Thanks for checking @yelsew

I think I'm going to pass on this. I found some stamped washers from Lowes that are larger and stacked them up and engaged the RLO against it and it's not quite the same sensation. I think it only works when it makes contact against a whole solid piece (such as the Slammer) rather than just a dinky thin piece of metal.

Next attempt now is to ask Raceseng to see if they can custom make me a slimmer Slammer
