k, Im a cheap ass, diy`r. I was thinkin to myself,,..."self why cant I make my own fat ass reed spacers?" So I thought of a few materials to use. I decided to go with bondo. I made a form out of 3/4 wood, the thickness I wanted my spacers,. traced the reed cage on it and cut it out. I cut out a center section to put in the middle to so I didnt have to remove so much material from the center. Slapped some mud in the hole and let it set for like 1/2 hour. Hammered it out, belt saned it perfect flat to .002" tollerance all the way around. Whatever its bondo it will form to square. dremeled out the center rough, then sanded it square. marked my holes out. 4th hole fucking cracked it!!!!!!!!! was perfect. spent like 1 1/2 on this pos. so I dont know weither I should try again maybe with more hardner or try something else. I was expecting to have a pair for under $10 3/4" thick, if I use somethig else, Im wasting more time and money. I had thought about using wood too, then coating it with a fiberglass resin or something. Any ideas? A suggestion of why dont you just buy some will earn you a kick in the gnads, as well as telling me I didnt spell opinions correctly. STD reed spacers are not as thick as I want.
