Re: tailwheel spacers for 10"SC tailwheel

'I need 2 spacers for the 10' sc TAILWHEEL. These fit outside the
bearings between the tailwheel and the yoke. The axle slides through
them. Does anyone know where I can get them? Also , even though I am
attempting to put back the original style of tailwheel and tire ( I
have a new tailwheel, tire and tube) there is a non-standard
tailwheel already on the plane which has a 4" wheel and 2.8/2.5 x 4
tire already. Can't find any STC for this conversion. Is there one?
Thanks

'I believe the bushings can be fabricated from standard stock
purchased at a bearing supply store. Take the shaft and see if they can
match the ID then cut it to fit and paint to match.
