Rear Spacer for a 7.5

does anyone know of a company that makes a ring gear spacer for a 7.5 i just put 410s in my rear. i thought it would be fine but i found out after i put the gears in they where for a series 3 carrier and not the series 2 carrier if anyone knows a company that makes please let me know because summit or jegs doesnt sell the part and i have found one place that does but i'm looking for the cheapest one.or if anyone has a used one with the bolts let me know

the cheapest one
We sure do see alot of this these days.... is this what our hobby is coming to?

Do you really want that (the cheapest thing you can find regardles of all else), or do you want one that will work for sure and cause you no trouble? Considering how expensive gears and carriers and setup labor and down time and all that can be, what's the difference between a $65 spacer and a $75 spacer, or whatever, if that's what it takes to guarantee a successful job?

http://www.drivetrainspecialists.com...=28&cat=GM+7.5 Do a search on that page for the word "spacer", you'll find the one you're looking for about 2/3 of the way down the page.

yep have to agree there you shouldnt be thinking of the cheapest when it comes to parts of your car that are going to make it driveable or reliable .....you should be thinking of quality ...i uderstand that most expensive doesnt always make it better either lol but thats usually what you find when your workin on your car ...
