The TS bushings are aluminum, right? Any reason you went with stainless rather than aluminum for the spacers?
I was thinking if there was any wear point between the TS, spacers and mounting point, worn spacers would be the easiest/cheapest fix... As long as they don't wear to the point of failure!
What's the consensus on stainless steel versus aluminum?
