just did a complete rebuild of my steering gear box with all new gaskets and seals and bearings.
now i am ready to install it again. let me take you back a year or so ago now. my brother in law was helping me take apart my truck. needless to say he wasn't to good at bagging and tagging hardware.
so now on to my question. i found out the length and size of the bolts that i need but it is showing i need spacers. it don't say anything about the size of those spacers. if anyone knows the measurement of those spaces it be awesome.

thanks in advance

IIRC, they are around 3/4 inch tall. They are heavy wall, and just big enough for the bolt to slip through. The bolts go through the spacer, then the frame, then into the steering box.
