Prop Spacers

I'm on the look out for a few 25mm prop spacers soon for at least three Suzuki's that have gone SPOA

Now as I'm quite a tight/poor/miserable git, they seem quite expensive to me for what they are.

They appear to be made from CNC'd aluminium.

SO.....

as I program CNC machines for a living and have three of them standing not 10 yards from where i'm sitting right now I thought I might give it a go myself

Looks like all I need to do is pick up some aluminium round bar the correct diameter, do some measuring and a wee bit programming and I can make my own for under a tenth of the price...

Anyone any thoughts on that? pitfalls? problems? ridiculing? funny jokes?

I would suggest trying some 410 props, they are longer than samurai props as the housing of the diff is shorter on the 410 ;)

Either way they are simple to make, I'm pretty sure Trotter knocked some up for my mate Karl ages ago.

Yeah I have a couple of them.

My problem (if it is a problem) is that I have 5 Samurais and i'm trying to keep them all the same.

Some are SPOA, some are stock and I have a pile of spare Samurai props, so if I can use spacers and keep the stock props then they can all use the same spares.
