Anyone know where I can get solid pinion spacer shims for a 12 bolt locally?

I have a solid spacer instead of a crush sleeve. The solid spacer is in 2 pieces and you shim between them to adjust your preload. They would be round shims with a hole in the middle for the pinion.

The last time I found any solid pinion spacers + shims locally was Parks on Rivers. They carry/carried (past tense) the Ratech brand. The last time I went there for a Ford 8.8 solid spacer kit, they had not restocked from the last time I got one. This may be a bad omen indicating that Parks may be reducing their hot-rod parts inventory.

No such luck here for having your size. All I have on hand is Ford 8.8"/9" pieces. I have ordered them before straight from Ratech and shipping was pretty fast.
