Hey guys!
I've been on the hunt to find Hinderer style (spool shaped) standoffs to fit my folder project and so far no luck. If anyone knows somewhere off the beaten path that may have them I'd appreciate the heads up. Or, if someone knows where I can have them made at a reasonable cost that would be even better. I have only shopped the project to one local machine shop and they said they can do it in stainless for $4 each plus a $300 set-up charge. While I don't find that unreasonable I hope I can have it done cheaper (and Ti would be even better).
Specs:
3/16" non-threaded ID - this is the hard part!
OD isn't too relevant as the design allows for clearance
about .17" thick - also not too important as each one will be lapped to final size
Thanks!
Mark
ETA: I have seen plenty of bushings that will do the job just fine but they are a little too boring IMHO.
