So I'm not ready to take mine out yet... but could someone please measure the width of the metal spacer inside the bearing that the bolt goes through? I need both the inside diameter, and how long it is.
Thanks

My spare Spohn arm, measures 2 3/8"
Near as my handy tape measure reads, I show in ID as 1/2"

Paully,
Were you wanting stock LCA dimensions? Not sure about Dewey's but the bolts for my Spohn LCA's were larger diameter than stock.

1/2" works fine. I can't always upgrade the bolt if I need to. My bolts are factory so : : My aluminum pipe is 1/2" :OP |
