When I found these years ago in a large parts lot, I didn't realize what they were, so I tossed them into a parts bin compartment - after all, they are aluminum

While rummaging through the bin last week, it finally dawned on me what they are -

Bling !

stealth tranny spacers - exact size/shape - with the obvious exception of the weight-reducing cuts.

Soooo, my question is this - Does anybody know if these were a "commercial" hopup bitd ?

They look very well-made... Or perhaps just a one-off custom - who knows?

Now, to find a car to put them in.

Problem with this bit of bling is that they will be so hard to see once they're installed !

pretty sure they're factory works spacers.

X2. Still listed as available on the Factory Works site. http://www.factoryworks.com/

Cool, thanks for the info guys !

They appear to be part number: 891

Holy cow, when I first saw this I thought man my parts are getting around. I made a few sets of these about 2 years ago. Here is a a few pictures of the them. I even tried my hand at anodizing a set blue.

I did not know anyone else ever made these. Thanks for the link. And there I thought I was being original cause I had never seen anything like them before

wow i really like the look of the blue ones on the black casing and motor mount.

might have to order some of those when they come back in stock.

I've had them on my DS for years.

I thought the same thing, it surprised me as well.

The page showed up for me, but blue is listed as out of stock. Silver may be available though.

You're clicking the link on the left with the 891 part #?

It shows a not found/bookmark error for me.

I'll pm Daryl.

No, my fault. I can see up to the parts page, but get an error when I click on the actual part numbers. I thought you meant the parts page wasn't opening. Still a good sign that he has silver.
