I need an aluminum spacer bar for pre-85 type hairpin truss rods. Anyone had a spare they can sell?

I'm thinking Paul W or Mark Arquist. I know theve made them for instruments they've restored .

You can easily make one from brass, it doesn't have to be aluminum.

There were a couple of luthiers in the UK that made double thick thrust blocks. (Ricky Sounds and Angel(?) I recall....)
They work very nicely.
