Default Re: 12 bolt R&P setup

"I use a steel spacer, never a crush sleeve. And never hone the bearing for a slip fit. It'll kill the shim under the bearing. I set new gear preload to 10-15 inch pounds, and used gear preload to 5-10 inch pounds. Red 271 Loctite on a new pinion nut will allow you to torque the crap out of the pinion nut if you have a spacer and not a crush sleeve. The pinion coming loose is death to a 12 bolt "

Where can these spacers be bought? i'm about to regear my car this winter and will be needing a spacer thanx in advance
