For being able to mount a mightylite 26cc homelite I need to get 3 inch spacers.

Any idea where I can get them or how to make them

I have already get 4 inch screws but cant get the spacers.....have gone to Home depot and they only have short steel spacers (very heavy)

Any advice will be appreciated.

Regards.
Víctor.

Status: offline 		10-32 all thread will make bolts of any length. Goop up the end the goes in the engine with thread locker. 10-32 is a hair smaller than the 5mm that the hole is likely threaded. Big dowels are good they give a large base and resist tipping better than a smaller diameter standoff. This is all well and good but if you are making 3" stand offs consider making a plywood box. It would be stronger. Then use you long bolts/all thread to secure the assembly to the original firewall.

Status: offline 		it's most likely 10-24 as is, so might as well start with that.

I second the hard wood if you don't have a lathe to make your own standoff's

Status: offline 		Thanks a lot everyone, great idea, seems my wife will need a new broom.

By the way it seems like this new design of Homelite Mighty Lite 26cc is a less restricted engine, it has an Exhaust the same size of the DLE 55 and a 13mm carb on it it should be a good performer

Thanks everyone
Víctor.
