Looking for a 60lx 1/4" exhaust spacer
I need to find where I can get a 1/4" exhaust spacer for the SJ 60lx.
I am having no luck locating one.
Any ideas of where I can get one?

Jett has spacers available. You can order them through the website, just enter the engine type and the spacer size you require into the order form. I am not 100% sure on the price ($12? )
Keep in mind, adding spaces affects the muffler tuning length and rpm.
Adding a 1/4" spacer to the LX exhaust will drop the top-end rpm a little (300-500 rpm) ..... but you gain torque in the process. Just comes down to correct prop selection for your aircraft application and you get most of the power back. So it is not a huge worry.
The very best approach is not to add any spacers.

I have built several from alm. 1/4" stock from Lowes after finding things too close at the last minute. About 30 minutes work with a hack saw, drill press and file. Use the Jett copper gasket as a guide. ENJOY
